| 主权项 | 1. A semiconductor photomultiplier comprising: an array of interconnected photosensitive microcells; and a plurality of dark count rate (DCR) suppression elements associated with the array; wherein each DCR suppression element is a dummy electrical component that is not coupled to a power track and is electrically isolated from the array of interconnected photosensitive microcells; wherein the array of interconnected photosensitive microcells and the DCR suppression elements are configured to simultaneously receive light. | ||
