Total dose test with γ-ray for silicon single photon avalanche diodes |
(a) The measured photocurrent and corresponding gain at 532 nm of the devices biased at 1.1 Vbr, which show negligible variations compared with the values before radiation. (b) Leakage current as a function of reverse voltage before and after radiation at room temperature. During the radiation, the samples are biased at 0.9 Vbr, 1.1 Vbr and unbiased, respectively, with the total radiation dose of 100 krad(Si) and dose rate of 50 rad(Si)/s. The inset shows the negligible changes of Vbr after radiation. |
