硅光倍增器（SiPM）由微小的无源淬灭雪崩光电二极管单元组成，通过集成电阻并联连接，并在盖革模式下工作。FBK-IRST （trento, Italy）正在开发新型SiPM。尽管采用了经典的浅结n-on-p结构，但该器件在短波长的光探测效率（PDE）增强以及暗率和多余噪声因子水平低方面是独一无二的。在总结了广泛的SiPM特性之后，我们将重点研究PDE和单光子定时分辨率。(C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPM) consist in matrices of tiny, passive quenched avalanche photo-diode cells connected in parallel via integrated resistors and operated in Geiger mode. Novel types of SiPM are being developed at FBK-IRST (trento, Italy). Despite their classical shallow junction n-on-p structure the devices are unique in their enhanced photo-detection efficiency (PDE) for short-wavelengths and in their low level of dark rate and excess noise factor. After a summary of the extensive SiPM characterization we will focus on the study of PDE and the single photon timing resolution. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
