Abstract :
Two approaches to reducing the dark current are presented to modify the epitaxial material to reduce the bulk diffusion dark current and to modify the PIN design to minimize the impact of generation current. In addition, material and device characterization data that contrast these approaches to the earlier conventional approaches will be discussed
