Abstract:
The monograph is devoted to many different aspects related to front-end electronics for semiconductor detector systems, namely: − designing and testing silicon position sensitive detectors for HEP experiments and X-ray imaging applications; − designing and testing of multichannel readout electronics for semiconductor detectorsused in X-ray imaging applications, especially for noise minimization, fast signal processing, crosstalk reduction and good matching performance; − optimization of semiconductor detection systems in respect to the effects of radiation damage.

The monograph is the result mainly of the author's experience in the above-mentioned areas and it is an attempt of a comprehensive presentation of issues related to the position sensitive detection system working in a single photon counting mode and intended to X-ray imaging applications. The structure of this book is as follows: semiconductor detectors: detector materials, signal generation, detector segmentation, detector models; − architecture of front end electronics: CSA, shaper, discriminator, noise optimizations, pulse shaping, fast signal processing; − important aspects of multichannel integrated circuits: noise modeling, short channel effects, digital to analog crosstalk, random matching; − radiation damage of integrated circuits: total dose effects, single event effects, radiation tolerant design; − examples of multichannel counting integrated circuits: chips for strip detectors, solutions for pad and pixel detectors.
