Semiconductor pixel detectors are an important class of radiation and particle detection devices based on semiconductors, such as germanium or silicon (Si). A semiconductor diode is depleted by applying a reverse bias voltage on its electrodes to synthesize a simple semiconductor ionizing radiation detector.
