摘要
A dual-junction single-photon avalanche diode structure is reported in a 130-nm low-voltage CMOS technology. The device comprises two stacked avalanche multiplication regions with virtual guard ring constructions. An 8.6-mu m- diameter p-well is placed within a 12.3-mu m-diameter deep n-well. At 3-V excess bias, the junctions operate with median dark count rates of 10 and 5 kHz and photon detection efficiencies of 32% at 450 nm and 29% at 670 nm, respectively. We demonstrate that the junction at which a photon is detected can be uniquely distinguished by the dead time of the Geiger mode pulse allowing spectral discrimination by simple digital circuitry.
