Abstract :
Fine grain measurements of avalanche multiplication and noise in large area uniform silicon avalanche diodes are discussed. A high resolution apparatus is described which is capable of resolving multiplication noise in regions separated by only 10-4inches (∼2.5 microns) and recording this noise as a function of position over the entire diode area.
