Electrons are<br />

collected in potential<br />

well and holes escape<br />

either to the substrate<br />

or to the channel stop<br />

Electrons begin to<br />

transfer from Gate 1<br />

to high field region<br />

under the Gate 2.<br />

Under this<br />

condition, multiple<br />

impact ionization<br />

effect starts and<br />

generates multiple<br />

electron and hole<br />

pairs. This process<br />

is repeated with the<br />

multiplication<br />
