Measurements of natural radiation effects in a low noise avalanche photodiode

; ;

Low noise avalanche photodiodes were irradiated to determine their sensitivity to the natural space environment. Radiation effects on important APD parameters were determined by exposure to 1.5 MeV electrons from a Van de Graaff generator and to gamma rays from a Co/sup 60/ source, both to a total dose of 300 krad (Si). During irradiation, the DC dark current and an associated 1/f noise were found to increase linearly with dose only if bias voltage was applied. A t/sup -X/ annealing behavior was observed. Radiation damage coefficients, threshold dose rates, and threshold fluences are calculated.
