Abstract
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 ().
