Popis: We have fabricated a 4 cm long, position-sensitive silicon drift detector using high purity, p-type silicon as the starting material. In this paper, we describe the double-sided planar process used to fabricate the detectors and the strategy used to suppress surface carrier inversion due to the presence of fixed positive charge at the Si-SiO/sub 2/ interface. The key issue in optimizing the fabrication process has been to minimize leakage currents and maximize breakdown voltages. Preliminary tests show that a drift signal can be measured across the entire length of the detectors and that the transit time of the holes varies linearly with the position of the induced charge signal. >
