Problems solved by technology

AlGaN and GaN have similar material properties. Although the development of GaN APD has made gratifying progress, however, the APD of AlGaN materials has developed slowly. In 2007, Turgut et al. reported again that the Al composition grown on a sapphire substrate is The APD of the AlGaN Schottky structure of 0.4 has a photoelectric multiplication factor of 1560 times [see literature T.Tut, M.Gokkavas, A.Inal, and E.Ozbay, Appl.Phys.Lett., 90, 163506 (2007) .]
