The performance of back-illuminated avalanche photodiodes with separate absorption and multiplication regions is presented. Devices with an active area of 225  µm2 show a maximum multiplication gain of 41 200. The calculation of the noise equivalent power yields a minimum value of 3.3×10−14  W  Hz−1/2 at a gain of 3000, increasing to 2.0×10−13  W  Hz−1/2 at a gain of 41 200. The broadening of the response edge has been analyzed as a function of bias. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
