Fully Depleted PIPS: Series FD

The FD series of PIPS detectors are used in particle identification, detector telescopes and in other de/dx measurements. They are particularly good in thickness uniformity, 1 to 2 μm for small active areas and 2 to 4 μm for areas up to 900 mm². The FD series are normally supplied in a transmission mount with a radial microdot connector (model number suffix- RM). Resolution is conservatively specified with alpha particles entering through the rear contact which has an entrance window thickness of 1600 Å. The resolution through front contact, with a thickness of 500 Å is better.

Resolution is given for ²⁴¹Am, 5.486 MeV alphas, using standard CANBERRA electronics and 0.5 µs shaping time constant.

* These models available in ring mount.
