Photomask technique for fabricating high purity germanium strip detectors

Abstract A new technology for germanium strip detectors has been developed. This technique uses a photomask process which needs no growing and etching and allows all kinds of segmented electrodes. Typically we have obtained 1.2 keV FWHM on the 122 keV line of 57 Co with a X − Y detector having 20 strips on each side.
