“…The dynamic operating characteristic of avalanche diode can be best understood by dividing the active zone of the device into two parts: (1) the avalanche area, where the electric field is strong enough to cause carriers avalanche multiplication, and it behaves as a nonlinear inductor from the analysis of Read's equation [16,25,26]; (2) the drift area, where no carriers are generated, and carriers travel at their saturated velocities. In the avalanche breakdown process of avalanche area, carrier ionization rate is the sensitive nonlinear function of electric field.…”
