Abstract
A silicon strip detector for the SYRMEP (SYncrotron Radiation for MEdical Physics) experiment has been designed and realised. The main features of this detector are AC-coupling through integrated coupling capacitors, DC biasing by means of a gated punch-through structure, bulk contact on the junction side through a forward-biased p(+) implant and integrated fan-in on active silicon. Results of laboratory tests of the detector parameters, allowing a thorough evaluation of the technological solutions employed, are presented. \ud The functionality of the detectors and the charge collection linearity have been tested with different gamma sources, using hybrid, low-noise front-end electronicsKeywords
