The impact ionization coefficients in bulk Al0.8Ga0.2As have been determined from photomultiplication measurements over the electric field range of 328–519 kV/cm. Unlike in AlxGa1−xAs (x⩽0.6), where the electron to hole ionization coefficients ratios (1/k) are less than 2, the 1/k value in Al0.8Ga0.2As was found to be greater than 10. Excess noise measurements corroborated the multiplication results, suggesting that this material may be a suitable multiplication medium for low noise avalanche photodiodes.
