Demonstration of ultraviolet separate absorption and multiplication 4H-SiC avalanche photodiodes

We report ultraviolet separate absorption and multiplication 4H-SiC avalanche photodiodes. An external quantum efficiency of 83% (187 mA/W) at 278 nm, corresponding to unity gain after reach-through was achieved. A gain higher than 1000 was demonstrated without edge breakdown.
