Mr Stefan Petrovics (Semiconductor Laboratory of the Max-Planck Society)16/02/2016, 16:30Semiconductor DetectorsTalkSilicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are a promising candidate for replacing conventional photomultiplier tubes in many applications, thanks to ongoing developments and advances in their technology. A drawback of conventional SiPMs is their limited fill factor caused by the need for a high ohmic polysilicon quench resistor and its metal lines on the surface of the devices, which in turn limits the...Go to contribution page

Gaetano Zappalà (University of Trento)16/02/2016, 16:55Semiconductor DetectorsTalkIn this work, we will present the latest Silicon photomultiplier technology (SiPM), developed in Fondazione Bruno Kessler, designed to detect UV and blue light and named NUV-HD. With respect to the original NUV technology, shown at last VCI, the High-Density (HD) one has the same electrical field profile but a novel layout with a lower dead border area and the introduction of trenches between...Go to contribution page

Rok Dolenec (Institut "Jožef Stefan")16/02/2016, 17:20Semiconductor DetectorsTalkSilicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) were examined as photodetectors in Cherenkov time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF PET). The time-of-flight resolution and the detection efficiency of several devices by different manufacturers were measured in TOF PET setup. Effects which degrade the time resolution and the methods to correct them were studied in more detail with a picosecond laser setup.Go to contribution page

Prof. Robert Klanner (University of Hamburg)16/02/2016, 17:45Semiconductor DetectorsTalkThe breakdown behaviour of prototype SiPMs (Silicon Photomultiplier) with pixel sizes of 15×15, 25×25 and 50×50 μm^2 manufactured by KETEK has been investigated. The I-V (current-voltage) characteristics and the PA (pulse-area) spectra have been measured as a function of bias voltage in dark conditions, as well as with the SiPM illuminated with an LED with a wavelength of 470 nm. The...Go to contribution page
