English abstract:
Due to high sensivity and CMOS compatibility, the single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD)is a promising optical detector in many applications. The sensitivity of a SPAD described by photon detection propability is a ke parameter to be investigated. This paper presents a comprehensive model to characterize the photon detection probability of CMOS-implemented SPADs in technologies where an anti-reflection coating layer is not available. The model can accurately capture optical, photon absorption, and avalanche triggering effects. The obtained simulation results show a good agreement to our experimental evaluations and, therefore. the model can be reliably used to characterize the detection efficieny of CMOS SPADs for accurate device simulation and optimization.
