摘要：

Large area silicon avalanche photodiodes (APDs) have been fabricated with maximum avalanche gains exceeding 10 000 and with relatively flat signal-to-noise performance from gains of a few hundred to gains of a few thousand. Gain and noise performance as well as detector speed of response is presented for APDs with active areas of 4 mm(2) and 64 mm(2). An overview of the performance of these devices as radiation detectors includes pulse height spectra using the APD as a scintillation spectrometer coupled to CsI(Tl) and to plastic scintillator, and also for direct detection of low energy X-rays.
