In this paper, a complete SPICE model for single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) is
presented, which can be implemented into the Spectre simulation environment in cadence to
precisely simulate both static characteristic and the photon detection process. We show how
to build the static current model including the forward region, the dynamic junction
capacitance model, and the neutral zone resistor model. In addition, an avalanche pulse
detection system is established to verify the validity of the SPICE model. The simulated
avalanche pulse voltage waveforms show good consistency with the experimented ones.
