本文讨论了用于闪烁探测的大面积平面APD和单片APD阵列的发展。用CsI（Tl）闪烁体（直径3.8cm，高2.5cm）制作了面积达10 cm ~ 2的单个APD，并进行了测试。662 keV的峰的分辨率为9%（FWHM）。多元件APD阵列也已被制造成各种格式，例如4/spl倍/4至14/spl倍/14个元件（2 mm像素），并且其增益、噪声和暗电流性能已被表征。闪烁和定时的研究也已进行耦合这些阵列的LSO和CsI（Tl）的闪烁器。讨论了与这些APD设备相关的包装和电子读出问题。
In this paper, development of large area planar APDs and monolithic APD arrays for scintillation detection is discussed. Single APDs with area as large as 10 cm2 have been fabricated and tested with CsI(Tl) scintillator (3.8 cm diameter, 2.5 cm high). The resolution of the 662 keV photopeak has been measured to be 9% (FWHM). Multi-element APD arrays have also been fabricated in various formats such as 4/spl times/4 to 14/spl times/14 elements (2 mm pixels) and their gain, noise and dark current performance has been characterized. Scintillation and timing studies have also been performed by coupling these arrays to LSO and CsI(Tl) scintillators. Packaging, and electronic readout issues related to these APD devices are discussed.
