Abstract
A study was performed on temporal and gain response of AlGaN solar-blind avalanche photodiodes (APD). The ensemble Monte Carlo method was used for the purpose. It was found that without any fitting parameters, reasonable agreement was obtained with the published measurements for a GaN APD.
