Description
The DEPFET (depleted field effect transistor) is silicons
sensor with an integrated amplification stage on a fully depeleted
bulk. This technology allows to engineer pixelized detectors which
offer large signal, low noise, low power consumption, high readout
speed and radiation tolerance. Such detectors could be used in high
precision vertex detectors as needed in a future linear collider
experiment and as x-ray imaging detectors in astrphysics.
The detector concept will be discussed and results from protoype
detectors will be presented.
