Silicon Particle Detector, comprising an absorption region () capable of generating electrical charges in response to a particle passing therethrough, a first and a second electrode () arranged on opposite sides of the absorption region (), wherein the first electrode () is segmented into a plurality of pads (), and a plurality of multiplication layers () able to avalanche-multiply the electric charges generated in the absorption region (), each of the multiplication layers () being arranged beneath a respective pad () and interposed between it and the absorption region (), each multiplication layer () is surrounded by a respective protection ring () formed by the material of the pad (). The protection ring () is laterally interposed between the multiplication layer () and the absorption region ().

Particle detector capable of separating in-time signals from out-of-time signals

A semiconductor detector for detecting radiation comprises a first semiconductor part in which an electron and a hole are generated by incident radiation; a signal output electrode outputting a signal base on the electron or the hole; and a gettering part gettering impurities in the first semiconductor part. In addition, the semiconductor detector further comprises a second semiconductor part doped with a type of dopant impurities and having dopant impurity concentration higher than that of the first semiconductor part. The second semiconductor part is in contact with the first semiconductor part. The gettering part is in contact with the second semiconductor part and not in contact with the first semiconductor part.
