Background: The time and frequency responses of Multiple Quantum Barrier (MQB) nano-scale Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) based on Si~3C-SiC material system have been investigated in this final part. Methods: A very narrow rectangular pulse of pulse-width of 0.4 ps has been used as the input optical pulse having 850 nm wavelength incidents on the p+-side of the MQB APD structures and corresponding current responses have been calculated by using a simulation method developed by the authors. Results: Finally the frequency responses of the devices are obtained via the Fourier transform of the corresponding pulse current responses in time domain. Conclusion: Simulation results show that MQB nano-APDs possess significantly faster time response and wider frequency response as compared to the flat Si nano-APDs under similar operating conditions.
