The planar detector consists of a crystal of either rectangular or circular cross section and a sensitive thickness of 1-20 mm... The electric field is perpendicular to the cross-sectional area of the crystal. The crystal thickness is selected on the basis of the gamma-ray energy region relevant to the application of interest, with the small thicknesses optimum for low-energy measurements(for example in the L-x-ray region for special nuclear material). Planar detectors usually achieve the best energy resolution, because of their low capacitance; they are preferred for detailed spectroscopy, such as the analysis of the complex low-energy gamma-ray and x-ray spectra of uranium and plutonium. 1, record 3, English, - planar%20detector

Détecteurs réalisés selon la technique d’implantation ionique «planaire». La technologie de fabrication des détecteurs [au] silicium a beaucoup évolué au cours du dernier demi-siècle grâce aux progrès de la microélectronique. Aujourd’hui, on utilise le procédé d’implantation passivée planaire (ou Implantation Planar Process) qui a complètement supplanté les techniques de fabrication des détecteurs à barrière de surface ou à jonction diffusée. La technique actuelle basée sur l’utilisation d’implanteurs (accélérateurs d’ions de faible énergie), permet de réaliser des jonctions abruptes et minces grâce à un contrôle très précis de la position en profondeur des dopants (B pour type P et As pour type N) à l’intérieur d’un substrat de Si (réduction de la zone morte du dispositif) de haute résistivité (de type N–). Celui-ci est recouvert d’une couche mince de passivation (SiO2) afin de minimiser les courants de fuite de surface. Un traitement chimique par photolithographie permet de définir la géométrie finale du détecteur. 2, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20planaire
