Abstract

Radiation Monitoring Devices has carried out research to develop a monolithic array of multiplexed, high-gain avalanche photodiodes suitable for use in a spectroscopic radiation-imaging device. To dramatically reduce the electronics required to support a large array we have utilized a unique property of avalanche photodiodes, and the method in which they are produced, to develop a relatively simple readout scheme using row-column addressing. Results indicate that there is good charge sharing between diode contacts on the back of a photodiode, feedback and crosstalk are minimal between avalanche photodiodes connected to a common data line using the diode-contact approach, and that reducing the noise contribution of each separate avalanche photodiode to the common data lien remains a critical issue to be examined further.
