Popis: We have developed an integrated $\Delta {\hbox{E–E}}$ silicon detector telescope using silicon planar technology. Standard integrated circuit technology involving double-sided wafer processing has been used to realize two detectors on a single chip. The $\Delta {\hbox{E}}$ detector is fabricated in epitaxial layer of thicknesses of ${\hbox{10}}$ , ${\hbox{15}}$ , or ${\hbox{25}}~\mu\hbox{m}$ deposited over the high resistivity silicon wafers of thicknesses of ${\hbox{300}}~\mu\hbox{m}$ . The E detector is fabricated in the base wafer, resulting in a thickness of ${\hbox{300}}~\mu\hbox{m}$ . The detector with the $\Delta {\hbox{E}}$ detector of thickness of ${\hbox{10}}~\mu\hbox{m}$ and E detector of thickness ${\hbox{300}}~\mu\hbox{m}$ has been characterized for light and heavy ions using the Lohengrin fission fragment separator at Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble, France. The results demonstrate the suitability of the integrated detector for identification of fission fragments and their energy measurement. The detector response was precisely characterized by a nuclear charge dependent approach, which differs from the usual mass-dependent characterization.
