Abstract

In this paper, we derive an analytical expression for the multiplication factor of photocarriers in avalanche heterophotodiodes with separated absorption and multiplication regions. The multiplication factor is presented in the traditional Miller form. The dependence of this factor on the applied bias voltage and heterostructure parameters is analyzed.
