Abstract
By use of extensive simulation, it is shown how a spread of the alumin ium metallization over the intercathodic field oxide sensibly lowers t he electric field at reverse biased p(+) n junctions, thus allowing us e of higher drift fields. Based on the simulation results, the layout of a few test structures implementing alternative technological choice s has been defined. The fabrication of these prototype detectors is pr esently in progress.
