Extended Temperature Modeling of InGaAs/InP SPADs

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ekin Kizilkan, Utku Karaca, Vladimir Pesic, Myung Jae Lee

We present a simulation method to estimate the dark count rate (DCR), photon detection probability (PDP), and dark current of InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) from 225K to 300K. All simulations are performed completely in TCAD and match we ...
