Abstract

Research is ongoing to tailor proportional mode avalanche photodiodes (APDs) for use in nuclear radiation environments and for scintillating fiber readout. We report progress on APD design modifications directed toward minimizing signals from ionizing particle interactions and also toward producing APD arrays for scintillating fiber readout. In addition, we present results for very high gain APDs fabricated using a new planar process which shows great promise for lower production costs of both APD arrays and discrete devices.
