Abstract

Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) have known a fast development in recent years, due to their excellent single photon detection capability and very fast timing response. In this paper we present the results of the electro-optical characterization performed on the first STMicroelectronics P on N SiPMs prototypes properly designed for their possible application in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). We will show that the performances of the new devices are extremely promising in terms of high photon detection efficiency and fast timing response in blue wavelength range.
