Abstract

A behavior mode for simulating single-photon avalanche diodes is presented. The model is developed using Verilog-A description language. The derived model is able to describe the static, the dynamic behavior, the triggering, the self-sustaining and the self-quenching processes, and it also correctly characterizes the reverse current-voltage curve. Simulation results confirmed the validity of the proposed model.
