4H-SiC Ultraviolet Avalanche Photodiodes With Small Gain Slope and Enhanced Fill Factor by Sen Yang, Dong Zhou, Weizong Xu, Xiaolong Cai, Hai Lu, Dunjun Chen, Fangfang Ren, Rong Zhang, Youdou Zheng

“…Meanwhile, three different top-electrode geometric patterns of SiC APDs are designed, and their impact on APD performance is investigated for the first time. Severe current crowding effect is observed in the forward current&#x2013;voltage (I&#x2013;V) characteristics of the APD with a traditional dot top-electrode, indicating inefficient current spreading across the top contact layer due to nonnegligible lateral resistance. …”
