We present the development of a novel 11328 pixel silicon photomultiplier(SiPM) camera for use with a ground-based Cherenkov telescope withSchwarzschild-Couder optics as a possible medium-sized telescope for theCherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The finely pixelated camera samples air-showerimages with more than twice the optical resolution of cameras that are used incurrent Cherenkov telescopes. Advantages of the higher resolution will be abetter event reconstruction yielding improved background suppression andangular resolution of the reconstructed gamma-ray events, which is crucial inmorphology studies of, for example, Galactic particle accelerators and thesearch for gamma-ray halos around extragalactic sources. Packing such a largenumber of pixels into an area of only half a square meter and having a fastreadout directly attached to the back of the sensors is a challenging task. Forthe prototype camera development, SiPMs from Hamamatsu with through silicon via(TSV) technology are used. We give a status report of the camera design andhighlight a number of technological advancements that made this developmentpossible.
