Advanced manufacturing technologies for modern image sensors have advanced to the point where uncooled single-photon image can be considered a consumer product. Single-photon imaging brings its own challenges, and has developed a number of niche applications, but the nature of building detectors at these extreme performance levels means performance developments that can filter down through...

The “new materials” that will be discussed in this lecture are depositions of pure boron and pure gallium, given the names PureB, PureGa and PureGaB. It may seem out of place to speak of boron as a novice in silicon technology since it has always been, and still is, the most commonly used p-dopant. Nevertheless, it is now recognized that boron, deposited by chemical-vapor deposition (CVD) in...

Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) and Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPMs) have since long ceased to be a scientific curiosity and have become a valuable tool for many applications both in research and industrial fields. Such a transition, on one hand, has been favored by the remarkable improvement in SPADs and SiPMs performance obtained in the last years; on the other hand, the widespread...

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are an alternative to photomultiplier tubes because of their robustness to magnetic fields, compactness, and low bias voltage. To take advantage of the merits of SiPMs, the deep understandings of SiPM characteristics are required. In this workshop, we will model and simulate the SiPM using Cadence spectre simulator to investigate the SiPM characteristics as...

Time-to-digital converters (TDC) are devices which allow, with a certain precision, to digitally represent the time occurred. Their usage spawn over a large number of applications where a precise time time stamp is required. Due to technological progresses, reconfigurable hardware devices (such as FPGAs) have become an attractive platform for implementing low cost and high performances...

The previous module will be completed by an hands-on laboratory session in which the students will design a small TDC and implement it on the provided FPGA platform. The Xilinx design environment will be utilized for this task, and the resulting configuration file will be tested on an FPGA board.
