摘要
A new type of avalanche photo diode with negative feedback based on a Metal-Resistor-Semiconductor (MRS) structure and sensitive to UV, blue and green light was tested using a Cs-137 beta-source With electrons impinging a front surface of the detector, and also with Sr-90 beta-source illuminating a 1 mm diameter scintillating fiber. MRS detectors of this type are built on low resistivity n-silicon. The sensitivity of the detector is calibrated using the ionization loss of Cs-137 beta-electrons. We conclude that these detectors have characteristics well suited to medical imaging applications, in particular wavelength dependence, quantum efficiency and sensitivity, and intrinsic multiplication.
