Abstract :
A code (N.N.) written to study algorithms was applied to improve DEPleted Field Effect Transistor (J. Kemmer, et al., 1987) based sensors in a joint effort with R. Richter (HLL of the MPI for Physics in Munich and the MPI for Extra-Terrestrial Physics in Garching). DEPFET X-ray sensors show significant 3d effects and have to fulfill a lot of requirements (good amplification, very low losses of the generated electrons, low power and noise, time constraints). Simulation has increased the understanding and changed the design and the applied process technology.
