Solid state detectors are basically materials in which a radiation sensitive region of mobile carriers is established with a voltage. A gas chamber in solid form.
What is a semi-conductor
Energy gap:
COnductor
Silcon is the most commonly used material for such detectors. Germanium, Gallium-Arsenide, and diamond are also used.
A min ionizing particle liberates about 300 fC (22000 electrons) in a 300 [math]\displaystyle{ \mu }[/math] m thick piece of silicon.
