摘要
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are fabricated in two different configurations: p-on-n and n-on-p junctions. p-on-n SiPMs turn out to be more suitable for application in positron emission tomography (PET), due to their higher sensitivity in blue wavelength range where common PET scintillators have their emission spectrum. In this paper, we report on the electro-optical performances of the first p-on-n SiPMs manufactured at STMicroelectronics, Catania. The results obtained on these devices are compared with those measured on the standard n-on-p technology.
