Table1_Study of electrical properties and detection mechanism of a practical novel 3D-Spherical Electrode Detector.DOCX

Among the 3D electrode Si detectors for high energy particle and X-ray detection, the traditional 3D-Trench electrode Si detector is a semiconductor detector that is widely used and discussed. Aiming at removing the shortcomings of the traditional 3D-Trench electrode Si detectors such as uneven electric field distribution, asymmetric electric potential, and the existence of some dead zone, we propose a new type 3D-Spherical Electrode Detectors and carry out extensive and systematic studies of their physical properties. We simulated detector electric field, electric potential, electron concentration distribution, full depletion voltage, leakage current, capacitance, the incident particle induced transient current and the weighting field. We systematically studied and analyzed detector’s electrical characteristics. By comparing with the traditional 3D-Trench electrode Si detectors, the new detector structure has more uniform electric field and potential, and less depletion voltage, leakage current and capacitance.
