abstract = {Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are well known as
excellent light detectors in the ultraviolet to visible
energy range with sub-nanosecond time resolution. Due to
their unique characteristics, these detectors are widely
used in high-energy physics and medical imaging systems. In
conventional SiPMs, an array of Single Photon Avalanche
Diodes (SPADs) is connected in parallel. In these devices
the time resolution is intrinsically limited by the total
output capacitance and the spatial resolution on the order
of the physical size of the array.In recent years, SPADs
have been integrated into standard high-volume CMOS
processes. This not only allows the production of large
volumes of SiPMs at a relatively low cost but also offers
the possibility of combining the excellent light detection
efficiency and time resolution of SPADs with the flexibility
and possibilities offered by CMOS imaging technology.A
prototype of a digital SiPM was designed at DESY in 150 nm
LFoundry CMOS technology using 25 x 25 SPADs. The main array
consists of 32 x 32 pixels, containing 4 SPADs, quenching
and readout circuitry. The readout is frame-based, operating
with a 3 MHz clock. The data from the chip contains the hit
map with the coordinates of the firing pixels and timestamps
given by four shared 12-bit TDCs. The dSiPM has been
characterized using the versatile Caribou DAQ system.
Detailed Current/Voltage (IV) and Dark Count Rate (DCR)
studies were performed in a temperature-controlled
environment, Minimum Ionizing Particle (MIP) detection
efficiency and spatial resolution measurements were carried
out at the DESY-II Test Beam Facility using an electron
beam, and a characterisation of the temporal performance was
conducted using a laser setup.In this contribution, the main
features of the dSiPM are reported along with the results of
the performed characterizations. Plans for future studies
and developments are also presented.},
