A new silicon single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) with epitaxial structure is presented. The carrier diffusion effect, which has plagued the time response of previous SPADs, is strongly reduced. The resolution obtained, less than 30ps full width at half-maximum, is the highest so far reported in single-photon timing.
