Abstract This project aims to produce a graphical user interface (GUI) for MATLAB programs written byJ.S.Marsland as part of his research into the excess noise factor in avalanche photodiodes (APDs). TheGUI will be produced using the GUIDE package supplied with the MATLAB software combined withthe MATLAB programs. The GUI will then be used to compare this research work with the researchwork of others e.g. the Monte Carlo calculations made by the research group at the FrenchAerospace Laboratory (ONERA). Comparison with other research work will require the digitization ofsome graphs published in academic journals.

This work simulated the avalanche characteristics of 4H- and 6H-SiC avalanche photodiodes (APDs) at 0.1 µm, 0.2 µm and 0.3 µm avalanche widths. A Monte Carlo model with random ionization path length techniques is developed to simulate mean multiplication gain and excess noise factor in thin SiC APDs. Mean multiplication gain, breakdown voltage and excess noise factor are simulated based on the electric field dependent impact ionization coefficients with the inclusion of dead space effect. Our results show that hole-initiated impact ionization gives high multiplication gain with low excess noise factor in both devices. We observed that dead space effect is more pronounce in thin structure since it covers a significant portion of the avalanche region. In thick device structure, a high breakdown voltage is observed. A comparison between these two polytypes shows that 4H-SiC provides high multiplication gain with low excess noise factor than 6H-SiC.
