A New Type Silicon Drift Detector with Curved Surface

A new Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) with curved surface has been proposed and analyzed by simulation. The adjacent drift cathodes punch-through problem in traditional SDD has been eliminated in the novel SDD. The potential distribution and advantages of this new SDD in comparison with the normal one are presented and discussed in this paper.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000297572400050&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Instruments & InstrumentationOpticsImaging Science & Photographic TechnologyEICPCI-S(ISTP)
