Jp. Alexander et al., STUDIES OF DOUBLE-SIDED, DOUBLE METAL-SILICON STRIP DETECTORS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 342(1), 1994, pp. 282-286
We have studied double-sided, double-metal silicon microstrip detector
s for the CLEO-II vertex detector. The double-layer structure permits
the transverse strips to be connected via longitudinal readout traces
to preamplifiers located at the end of the detectors. The detectors ar
e manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics. They are full size AC coupled d
etectors with polysilicon bias resistors on the n-side and punchthroug
h biasing on the p-side. We present measurements of detector static pr
operties, including the extra capacitance due to the double layer stru
cture, as well as measurements of signal and noise.
