Design and evaluation of AC-coupled, FOXFET-biased, _edge-on_ silicon strip detectors for X-ray imaging
Abstract
A silicon strip detector for the SYRMEP (SYnchrotron Radiation for MEdical Physics) experiment has been designed and realised. The main features of this detector are AC-coupling through integrated coupling capacitors, DC bias of the strips by means of a gated punch-through structure, bulk contact on the junction side through a forward-biased p + implant, thinned entrance window for the incoming radiation (in an "edge-on" geometry) and integrated fan-in on active silicon. Results of laboratory tests of the detector parameters, allowing a thorough evaluation of the technological solutions employed, are presented.
