Description
In this contribution, we will show selected results on the research and development FBK is carrying out on Silicon Photomultipliers for the detection of visible and near-ultraviolet light. We developed two complementary technologies having similar characteristics in terms of breakdown voltage (~30V), breakdown voltage temperature dependence (25mV/C) but different peak sensitivity wavelengths. The first, called RGB-SiPM, has a wide peak ranging from 450 to 600nm whereas the second, called NUV-SiPM, from 380 to 410nm. The maximum efficiency in both cases is higher than 30% for a 50x50um2 cell size with 42% fill factor. At maximum bias, primary dark noise is on the level of 500 and 150kHz/mm2, respectively. As a further technological step, we redesigned the dead border region around the SiPM cell to maximize the fill factor. We produced first RGB-SiPM prototypes with a 15x15um2 cell having a very high fill factor of 45% and a measured detection efficiency of about 30% at 550nm.
