A 130nm CMOS Single Photon Avalanche Diode
We report on the first implementation of a single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) in 130nm CMOS technology. The SPAD is fabricated as p+/nwell junction with octagonal shape. A guard ring of p-well around the p+ anode is used to prevent premature discharge. To investigate the dynamics of the new device, both active and passive quenching methods have been used. Single photon detection is achieved b...
متن کاملA 4 s integration time imager based on CMOS single photon avalanche diode technology
An optical imager is reported based on single photon avalanche diodes. The imager, fabricated in 0.8 m CMOS technology, consists of an array of 1024 pixels each with an area of 58 m× 58 m for a total chip area of 2.5 mm× 2.8 mm. The architecture of the imager is reduced to a minimum since no A/D converter is required. Moreover, since the output of each pixel is digital, complex read-out circuit...
متن کاملSingle photon avalanche diode for single molecule detection
A commercially available single photon avalanche photodiode in a passively quenched circuit is used with time-correlated single photon counting modules to achieve subnanosecond time response together with high quantum efficiency and low dark noise. These characteristics are required for experiments in single molecule detection and spectroscopy in which time-gated detection schemes are used. By ...
متن کاملFill-factor improvement of Si CMOS single-photon avalanche diode detector arrays by integration of diffractive microlens arrays.
Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detector arrays generally suffer from having a low fill-factor, in which the photo-sensitive area of each pixel is small compared to the overall area of the pixel. This paper describes the integration of different configurations of high efficiency diffractive optical microlens arrays onto a 32 × 32 SPAD array, fabricated using a 0.35 µm CMOS technology proce...
متن کاملAn ultrafast Geiger-mode single photon avalanche diode in 0.18 m CMOS technology
We demonstrate a new single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) device, which utilizes the silicon-dioxide shallow-trench isolation (STI) structure common to all deep-submicron CMOS technologies, both for junction planarization and as an area-efficient guard-ring. This makes it possible to achieve an order-of-magnitude improvement in fill factor and a significant reduction in pixel area compared with...
