Abstract :
In this paper, we have simulated the performance of a photodiode array that has multiple wells per pixel as well as a stacked-gradient poly-homojunction (StaG) geometry. The pixel response resolution was improved when the first StaG epilayer was within 2 μm of the space charge region (SCR).
