Kurzfassung englisch:
This paper presents a fully-integrated optical sensor
IC with SPAD, quenching/resetting circuit, and novel sensing
stage based on a tunable-threshold inverter optimized for 0.35-µm high-voltage CMOS technology. The presented quencher features a controllable excess bias voltage and an adjustable total dead time. The excess bias voltage ranges from 10 V to a maximum of 22 V. The dead time ranges from 8 ns to 50 ns, which corresponds to a saturation count rate range from 20 Mcps to 125 Mcps. The quencher is optimized for the SPAD with a capacitance of 150fF in the HV CMOS technology used. Using our recently published photon detection probability (PDP) model and fitting it to measured results up to a PDP of 68.8% at 9.9 V excess bias from our previous tapeout, a peak PDP of 90.1% (saturation PDP) at 650 nm for VEX=17.9 V is estimated and a PDP over 50% at 850 nm comes into reach for the same excess bias voltage. To the authors' best knowledge, PDP saturation has never been reached before for an integrated SPAD.
