Development and characterization of a novel two-dimensional position sensitive silicon strip detector for electron detection

A novel silicon strip detector has been developed that has the necessary properties to provide two-dimensional position sensitivity with a moderate number of readouts and single-sided detector fabrication process. The concept is based on segmented pixel electrodes arranged in a projective X-Y readouts, it combines the 2-D position resolution of pixel electrode geometry with the simplicity of the projective readout of a double-sided strip detector. And also with proper segmentation of strip electrodes, the multi-hits induced ghost image problem can be resolved.
