Abstract :
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has been exploring some of the unique features of silicon detector in a variety of nuclear structure experiment using high energy photons and heavy ions projectiles. Current experimental application makes use of large area silicon detector with depletion thickness of ~150-1000 mum. The low cost silicon detector shows excellent energy and position resolution. In this paper, we discuss the simulation result for silicon detector using SILVACO and the physical mechanism involved in detector operation and one set of mask designing for the silicon radiation detector then we will clarify how these effects set a limit to achievable timing performance.
