The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Understanding and simulating SiPMs (2019, background): “Examples of this implementations in custom processes or CMOS processes can be found in [49,50].”
Quantum random number generators (2016, background): “For instance, there have been important advances in silicon detectors (Ghioni et al., 2007) that open the door to integration in electronic circuits and in superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors that extend the high-efficiency detection wavelengths to the near infrared (Marsili et al.,…”
Scaleable Single-Photon Avalanche Diode Structures in Nanometer CMOS Technology (2011, methodology): “A full-width at halfmaximum/100 of 300, 450, and 500 ps is measured for the p−, p−/n−, and p-well devices, respectively, with a monoexponential tail [26].”
Quantum metrology and its application in biology (2014, background): “ilicon avalanche photodiodes (APDs) represented the state-of-the-art in single photon detectors, providing quantum eciencies in the range of 65%, with tens of megahertz single-photon detection rates [164]. Recently, however, dramatic progress has been made in alternative single photon detectors base”
Single-photon generation and detection (2009, methodology): “Generally, the dark count rate of a thin junction Si-SPAD depends on the diameter of the active area [125].”
