onsemi C-Series Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) Sensors
onsemi C-Series Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) Sensors feature industry-leading low dark count rates of 30kHz/mm2, in combination with exceptional breakdown voltage uniformity of ±250mV. The high photon detection efficiency (PDE) extends far into the blue part of the spectrum using a high-volume, CMOS process. These sensors are available in 1mm, 3mm, and 6mm sizes and a variety of microcell sizes. They are packaged in a tileable molded lead frame (MLP) package that is compatible with industry-standard, lead-free, reflow soldering processes. The C-Series also features a uniquely fast output for fast timing applications.
