Synopsis

This book presents an introduction to the fundamental characteristics and operating particles of silicon sensors as well as their integration into electronic circuits or data acquisitions systems. Chapters cover the wide range of applications of these sensors in the measurement of physical phenomena such as radiation, temperature, magnetic fields and chemical observables.
This comprehensive volume is based on a teaching course and will be appropriate for physicists and engineers interested in integrated sensors and their applications.

About this title

Review

While there can be no definitive treatment of such a fast moving field as silicon sensors, this long awaited statement by the doyen of European sensor research, Simon Middelhoek, carries a rare stamp of authority (which is not to underrate the contribution undoubtedly made by Mrs. Audet). It is an added bonus that the resulting book is good to read, with both text and illustrations exhibiting an unusual degree of clarity and organisation....
Particularly valuable is the thoughtful introduction, which deserves to be a mandatory source for any student of the subject....
The book is rich in relevant mathematical formulae and clear diagrams, while the copious references at the end of each chapter would alone justify its acquisition. Usually a reviewer likes to add a few adverse criticisms to give a sense of balance to his review, but on this occasion I am, uniquely, stuck for an excuse....
A notable feature of this treatment is its timeliness.
