DEPFET development at the MPI semiconductor laboratory
Lutz, Gerhard
The DEPFET device concept offers unique properties that make it useful for applications in X-ray astronomy and particle physics as well as in other fields. They form the basis for two major projects of the MPI Semiconductor Laboratory. This survey reviews device concepts, potential, technology and properties of devices produced at the laboratory. …
Radiation hardness studies for the X-ray Solar Monitor (XSM) onboard the ESA SMART-1 mission
Andersson, H.; Alha, L.; Huovelin, J. +7 more
The X-ray detection performance of the X-ray Solar Monitor (XSM, onboard the ESA SMART-1 satellite) Si pin -detector was studied after exposure to several types of radiation typical of the space environment (i.e. protons, electrons and γ -radiation). The detector withstands the tested radiation types at the expected mission dose levels. Hence, the…
