We report on the signal timing capabilities of thin silicon sensors when traversed by multiple simultaneous minimum ionizing particles (MIP). Three different planar sensors, with depletion thicknesses 133, 211, and 285 µm, have been exposed to high energy muons electrons at CERN. describe shape resolution measurements as well response these devices a function multiplicity MIPs. compare simulations where possible. achieve better than 20 ps for signals larger few tens
