Silicon PM Designs: Cylindrical, Rectilinear

The Silicone Photomultiplier (SiPM) is another technology that can be used to gather light from a scintillation detector. There are several advantageous features associated with these devices:

  • Small form factor can help reduce system costs, e.g. when lead shielding is required to reduce background in a system
  • Operation at low DC voltages (<100VDC)
  • Arrays can be used to achieve performance near and sometimes exceed PMT performance
  • SiPMs are not affected by B-fields.

One of the significant disadvantages is that the devices add noise to the spectrum at temperatures above 45-50°C.
