Abstract A Ga2O3/diamond separate absorption and multiplication avalanche photodiode (SAM-APD) with mesa structure has been proposed and simulated. The simulation is based on an optimized Ga2O3/diamond heterostructure TCAD physical model, which is revised by repeated comparison with the experimental data from the literature. Since both Ga2O3 and diamond are ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor materials, the Ga2O3/diamond SAM-APD shows good solar-blind detection ability, and the corresponding cutoff wavelength is about 263 nm. The doping distribution and the electric field distribution of the SAM-APD are discussed, and the simulation results show that the gain of the designed device can reach 5×104 and the peak responsivity can reach a value as high as 78 A/W.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
