Abstract :
We present a characterization of a Si microstrip detector, with an inverted structure. One single junction covers the entire device, while the strips are the ohmic contacts. As expected, the inter-strip spacings lying in a low electric field, experiments show that these detectors are much more resistant against radiation than classic detectors.
