The first part of the review presents the history of the development of solid-state detectors and the features of their designs. The main attention is paid to avalanche photodiodes and silicon photomultipliers, the most sensitive and therefore the most demanded solid-state detectors of low-photon optical signals and radiation
photoelectric effect, photodiode, avalanche photodiode, APD, Geiger-mode APD, single-photon APD, silicon photomultiplier, SiPM
