Figure 2
Semiconductor drift chamber structure using the sideward depletion method. Dividing the diode into strips and applying a continuously rising potential superimposes a horizontal field that drives the signal electron towards the n+ anode which is connected to the readout electronics. Upon arrival of the signal charge at the n+ anode, the amount of charge and the arrival time can be measured.
