Since the dark rate is the rate at which the SiPM avalanches, its value depends on 3 factors:
Since the dark rate is the rate at which the SiPM avalanches, its value depends on 3 factors:
* The probability that an electron in a silicon crystal lies in the conduction band
* The probability that an electron in a silicon crystal lies in the conduction band at temperature t
* The rate of scattering, or the average amount of time that is required for an electron to impact a silicon nucleus, redistributing energy randomly among the two entities.
