Abstract :
A circuit-level model of metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector (MSM-PD) was developed and implemented into VHDL-AMS simulator hAMster™ The model was derived for a one dimensional (1-D) structure from continuity equations. Both transient and steady-state simulations results match well with experimental data.
