Solid-state device for detecting and locating the points of impact of ionizing radiation

Description

A semiconductor body contains microscopic passages in which multiplication of the free electrons appearing at the entrances to said passages, under the effect of the incident ionizing radiation, takes place. A conductive film forms a surface barrier in conjunction with the semiconductor body which is endowed with the property of secondary emission with an emission coefficient better than unity
