摘要：
The breakdown and optical response of perimeter gated single-photon avalanche diodes fabricated in a standard 0.5 m 2-poly 3-metal CMOS process is presented. These diodes prevent premature edge breakdown through the addition of a polysilicon gate. The fabricated devices feature varying size, shape (square, octagonal, and circular), and junction types (nwell-p(+) and psub-nwell) with a perimeter gate located on top of the junction. Voltage applied to the gate modulates the electric field and its effect on the breakdown voltage and optical response is discussed. Experimental results are supported by physical device simulations where applicable.
