Description

The paper presents some results concerning the technology and behaviour of x-ray silicon detectors intended for controlling low radiation levels in interventional cardiology. An improved planar process was used for obtaining large area guard-ring test structures. The electrical characteristics, their modification after exposure to radiation and the results of specific X-ray measurements are discussed. (author)
