摘要
Silicon avalanche photodiodes have been fabricated and their performance as X-ray detectors has been measured. Photon sensitivity and energy resolution was measured as a function of size and operating parameters. Noise thresholds as low as 212 eV were obtained at room temperature and backscatter X-ray fluorescence data was obtained for aluminum and other light elements.
