Red, Green, Blue (RGB) SiPMs
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) from First Sensor are
innovative solid-state silicon detectors with single photon
sensitivity. SiPMs are a valid alternative to photomultiplier
tubes. The main benefits of these detectors are high gain,
extremely good timing performance and low operating
voltage. They are insensitive to magnetic field and have a
high integration level. The detectors are optimized for red,
green and blue (RGB) light detection.
Features
– RGB light detection from 350 to 900 nm
(peak efficiency at 550 nm)
– Low noise
– Superior breakdown voltage uniformity
– Excellent temperature stability
– Detection of extremely faint light
– Very high gain (10
6
)
– Extremely good timing performance
– Insensitive to magnetic fields
– Not damaged by ambient light
– Small and compact
– Nickel free Chip Scale Package (CSP)

Specification notes
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause
permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated
in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rated conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability.

(3) BV of SiPMs belonging to a same production lot are within 200 mV (±2σ) from
mean BV value.
