Abstract :
Pure electron injection multiplication noise of In0.53Ga0.47As has been measured on three In0.53Ga0.47As diode with avalanche widths of 1.8 μm, 3.2 μm and 4.8 μm. Very low excess noise has been measured and the associated electron to hole ionisation coefficient ratio is from 3.3 to 5. The results confirm the previously reported large ionisation coefficient ratios at fields between 155 kVcm-1 and 310 kVcm-1.
