Abstract

Several detector applications for the DEPMOS transistor as on-chip amplifier are introduced. First the principle of the DEPMOS transistor is reviewed. Then the design of a silicon drift chamber (SDC) with integrated voltage divider and DEPMOS readout is described, and a first experimental result is presented. Furthermore another two new DEPMOS applications are introduced: a fully depleted pn-CCD with DEPMOS readout and a device for multiple nondestructive readout, which will lead to a distinct reduction of random noise.
