Lateral gas phase diffusion length of boron atoms over Si/B surfaces during CVD of pure boron layersMohammadi, V. (author), Nihtianov, S. (author)The lateral gas phase diffusion length of boron atoms, LB, along silicon and boron surfaces during chemical vapor deposition(CVD) using diborane (B2H6) is reported. The value of LB is critical for reliable and uniform boron layer coverage. The presented information was obtained experimentally and confirmed analytically in the...journal article 2016

Lee, M.J. (author), Sun, P. (author), Charbon, E. (author)This paper reports on the first implementation of a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) in standard silicon on insulator (SOI) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The SPAD is realized in a circular shape, and it is based on a P+/N-well junction along with a P-well guard-ring structure formed by lateral diffusion of two...journal article 2015

A wide spectral range single-photon avalanche diode fabricated in an advanced 180 nm CMOS technologyMandai, S. (author), Fishburn, M.W. (author), Maruyama, Y. (author), Charbon, E. (author)We present a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) with a wide spectral range fabricated in an advanced 180 nm CMOS process. The realized SPAD achieves 20 % photon detection probability (PDP) for wavelengths ranging from 440 nm to 820 nm at an excess bias of 4V, with 30 % PDP at wavelengths from 520 nm to 720 nm. Dark count rates (DCR) are at...journal article 2012
