Abstract:

An innovative proposed device based on silicon avalanche structures and exploiting the concept of coincidence detection was proposed and referred as “Avalanche Pixel Sensor - APIX” (see deliverables 2.1 and 2.2; and built as a demonstrator, the 3D-SiCAD (3D Silicon Coincidence Avalanche Detector).

Work description:

A 3D-SiCAD (3D Silicon Coincidence Avalanche Detector) demonstrator based on standard CMOS technology and common 3D integration techniques has been successfully built (Fig.1, left) and characterized, as feasibility proof of this novel device and with expected performances in terms of excellent particle detection efficiency and noise rejection capability with respect to background [1]. The detection capability of 3D-SiCAD to ionizing radiation is characterized with a Sr-90 source of 37 MBq, see set-up in Fig.1-right.
