Abstract:
A semiconductor photomultiplier (SPM) device is described. The SPM comprises a plurality of photosensitive elements, a first electrode arranged to provide a bias voltage to the photosensitive elements, a second electrode arranged as a biasing electrode for the photosensitive elements, a plurality of quench resistive elements each associated with a corresponding photosensitive element, a plurality of output loads; a first node of each output load is common to one of the photosensitive elements and the corresponding quench element; and a third electrode provides an output signal from the photosensitive elements; the third electrode is coupled to a second node of the respective output loads; the outputs loads fully or partially correct an overshoot of the output signal on the third electrode.

Claim (Index 32):
A method as claimed in  claim 30 ,wherein the first regions and the second regions are completely outside of the active areas to leave the entirety of the active areas available to detect light without obstruction from the quench resistive elements and the resistive load elements.
