Abstract :
Previously we introduced a new drift detector design, that diminishes the effect of lateral diffusion. This is achieved by giving the strips a saw tooth shape. In this way a small electric field in the direction parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the drift direction is established. Therefore the electrons are confined within the length of one saw tooth. In this paper we describe the design and fabrication of these detectors, as well as some measurements
