Abstract

This is a progress report on preliminary test measurements aimed to evaluate the performance of new Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD) developed by ST Microelectronics. Various samples with different dimensions (from 10 to 100 μm diameter) and two 5x5 arrays (20 and 40 μm) are manufactured by STM; some of which have been characterized. A brief description of the device and its main characteristics (dark, quantum efficiency and linearity) are presented.
