Abstract

The fabrication of silicon shallow junction photodiodes is a relevant topic for the detection of blue and near ultraviolet weak photon fluxes. In this paper we present a simple model to calculate the Quantum Detection Efficiency (QDE) of a Geiger Mode Avalanche Photodiode (GMAP) as a function of the dead layer thickness above the junction depletion layer. A comparison between calculated and experimental data is also presented. Moreover, by using the same model, an analysis of the QDE at 420 nm wavelength of conventional GMAPs based on shallow [N.sup.+]--P and [P.sup.+]--N junctions is given. Index Terms--Avalanche triggering probability, dead layer, Geiger mode avalanche photodiode, quantum detection efficiency, silicon photomultiplier.

Abstract

The article examines the results of the charge and time characterization of a novel 100-channel silicon photomultiplier (SiPM). The charge measurement results show that SiPM can distinguish up to approximately 45 photons at room temperature and is able to achieve a time shift as a function of the intensity of the laser due to the operating principle of a gain-switching diode laser.

Abstract

The article examines the results of the noise characterization of a novel 100-channel silicon photomultiplier. This device can be used to for the detection of very weak light pulses down to single photons and at a fixed temperature the noise behavior is reproducible which makes straightforward corrections due to dead-time and random noise pulse contamination possible.

Abstract

Design and characterization of a new generation of single photon avalanche diodes (SPAD) array, manufactured by STMicroelectronics in Catania, Italy, are presented. Device performances, investigated in several experimental conditions and here reported, demonstrate their suitability in many applications. SPADs are thin p-n junctions operating above the breakdown condition in Geiger mode at low voltage. In this regime a single charged carrier injected into the depleted layer can trigger a self-sustaining avalanche, originating a detectable signal. Dark counting rate at room temperature is down to 10 s -1 for devices with an active area of 10 μm in diameter, and 10 3 s -1 for those of 50 mm. SPAD quantum efficiency, measured in the range 350÷1050 nm, can be comparable to that of a typical silicon based detector and reaches the values of about 50% at 550 nm for bigger samples. Finally, the low production costs and the possibility of integrating are other favorable features in sight of highly dense integrated 1-D or 2-D arrays.
