A silicon strip detector for the SYRMEP (SYnchrotron Radiation for MEd
ical Physics) experiment has been designed and realised. The main feat
ures of this detector are AC-coupling through integrated coupling capa
citors, DC bias of the strips by means of a gated punch-through struct
ure, bulk contact on the junction side through a forward-biased p(+) i
mplant, thinned entrance window for the incoming radiation (in an ''ed
ge-on'' geometry) and integrated fan-in on active silicon. Results of
laboratory tests of the detector parameters, allowing a thorough evalu
ation of the technological solutions employed, are presented.
