Abstract
Reports the performance of the first high speed GaInAs/InP multi-quantum well avalanche photodiodes grown by atmospheric pressure MOCVD. The multi-quantum well avalanche region of the device consists of 50 periods of 150 Å wells and barriers forming the intrinsic region of a pin structure. Avalanche multiplication up to a factor of 25 has been measured at DC together with high-speed response giving a maximum measured RF gain of 16 and a gain-bandwidth product in excess of 25 GHz
