Popis: The Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) have overcome the deficiencies of Photo-Multiplier Tubes (PMT) in terms of compactness, low voltage operation and insensitivity to magnetic fields. Starting from the needs for large volume manufacturing, for large physics experiments, FBK and LFoundry started a collaboration in order to allow large volume production of SiPMs based on FBK technology. The results of this technology transfer are promising. SiPM performance, which attracted the attention from industrial players in the fields of the medical and automotive market, are well in agreement between FBK and LFoundry productions.
