Abstract :
We report on the first prototypes of hybrid detectors for neutrons from the INFN HYDE project. Devices consist of 3D silicon sensors coupled to PolySiloxane-based converters. The sensor design and fabrication technology are presented, along with initial results from the functional characterization of the devices in response to radioactive sources and neutron beams of different energies.
