A Low-noise CMOS SPAD Pixel with 12.1 ps SPTR and 3 ns Dead Time

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ming-Lo Wu, Francesco Gramuglia, Myung Jae Lee

In this paper, we present the first CMOS SPAD with performance comparable or better than that of the best custom SPADs, to date. The SPAD-based design, fully integrated in 180 nm CMOS technology, achieves a peak PDP of 55% at 480nm with a very broad spectr ...
