The SDD structure
• The electrons, generated in the fully depleted silicon by the X-ray photons, are collected by the small anode (having a very low capacitance, Cdet=150fF).
• The integrated front-end transistor (n-JFET) allows the capacitive matching between detector and amplifier(Cdet≈Cgate)

Advantages: very high energy resolution at fast shaping times, due to the small anode capacitance, independent of the active area of the detector

Conclusions
The Dectors here presented are today the best results of the “nearly old”idea of the the SDDs (E. Gatti and P. Rehak, 1983).
SDDs (under different commercial names) are nowadays widely used inseveral applications (SEMs, Synchrotrons, Portable XRF spectrometers, Mars exploration, …).Other devices derived from the original idea of Gatti and Rehak, the “fully depleted” PN-CCDs, are flying in a satellite for X-ray astronomy(XMM mission).New devices, similarly derived from the original idea, are on the way:CDDs, DEPMOS pixel arrays, avalanche SDDs, ….
The INFN has believed in SDDs and has supported their development,in cooperation with the MPI Halblaiterlabor, from the very beginning of these devices.
