Abstract
Here, we demonstrate new material/structures for the photodetectors, using semiconductor material. For example, we present the Tunable Avalanche Wide Base Transistor as a photodetector. Particularly, SiC, GaN, AlN, Si and Diamond materials are given as examples. The desired properties of an optimum photodetector is achieved. Different variations are discussed, both in terms of structure and material.
