62. Sponsor Keynote: Broadcom’s Silicon Photomultiplier: Technology, Performance, Status and Roadmap

John Murphy

This presentation will provide an overview about Broadcom’s SiPM and photodetection technologies including NIR and NUV-SiPM. Focus will be put on the initial results of the newly developed NUV-DJ SiPM technology, showing a significant increase of the PDE above 420nm compared to the NUV-MT technology, while excellent NUV-sensitivity from 420nm down to 250nm is maintained. At 500nm the PDE was...

Next-generation medical imaging modalities, particularly high-resolution time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET), require photodetectors that combine excellent timing precision, high spatial granularity, and compatibility with advanced system integration. To address these needs, Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) is developing silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) specifically conceived...

50. Developments in fabrication and design flexibility of amorphous silicon microchannel plates

Georgios Konstantinou (EPFL)

11/05/2026, 16:00

The technology of amorphous silicon-based micro-channel plates (AMCPs) uses a versatile approach to stack hydrogenated amorphous silicon in thicknesses up to 100 μm, using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and etch microchannels of diameter below 2 μm every 5 μm, on a hexagonal pattern, by deep reactive ion etching. With gains up to 1000 for reverse bias less than 300 V, the...

59. Experimental Evaluation of a Low-Noise Ultra-Fast SiPM Time-of Flight Analog Readout Chip (LUSTAR)

Joshua Cates (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

The precision to which the arrival time of 511 keV photons are able to be known directly affects the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) for reconstructed images in time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET). Currently, significant research is ongoing to push the full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) coincidence time resolution (CTR) for TOF-PET systems well below 100 ps towards the few-10’s-of-ps...
