How does it work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The invention refers generally to semiconductor devices for detecting ionizing radiation based on the resistive read-out principle. Devices of this type essentially work by producing an electrical signal when the ionizing radiation passes through them. This signal is then read by a read-out electronics suitably connected to an electrode. The devices commonly used have several limitations, including: (i) the initial signal generated by a single event is split into a multiplicity of signals of lesser intensity, (ii) by splitting among many reading pads, the signal propagates over a wide surface of the detector: this makes it likely that two or more signals, initially distant, will propagate and overlap, and (iii) the number of reading electrodes affected by the event of a single incident particle changes depending on the point of impact. <\/p>\n

The invention thus consists of a semiconductor device for radiation detection based on the resistive read-out design, in which the reading electrodes are shaped in such a way that the signal propagates over a limited number of electrodes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
