Abstract

We present an equivalent circuit model for CMOS-compatible avalanche photodetectors. The equivalent circuit model includes an inductive component for avalanche delay, a current source for photogenerated carriers, and several components that model the device structure and parasitic effects. The model provides accurate impedance characteristics and photodetection frequency responses.
