  • Abstract
    In the DEPFET pixel concept, the absorbed radiation directly modulates the channel current of a p-JFET transistor being integrated into a fully depleted high ohmic silicon substrate in every pixel cell, offering very low noise operation at room temperature. Hence, DEPFET pixels open new possibilities in biomedical applications, but also have a potential in particle physics and astrophysics. Second prototype 50 μm×50 μm single pixels as well as large (64×64) DEPFET matrices have been successfully produced and operated confirming the low noise behavior (12e). Device studies as well as a full DEPFET pixel Bioscope system to be used in real-time digital autoradiography with excellent spatial and energy resolution for X-rays are presented.
