Pixel Detectors: From Fundamentals to Applications

by Leonardo Rossi, Peter Fischer, Tilman Rohe

Pixel detectors are a particularly important class of particle and radiation detection devices. They have an extremely broad spectrum of applications, ranging from high-energy physics to the photo cameras of everyday life. This book is a general purpose introduction into the fundamental principles of pixel detector technology and semiconductor-based hybrid pixel devices. Although these devices were developed for high-energy ionizing particles and radiation beyond visible light, they are finding new applications in many other areas. This book will therefore benefit all scientists and engineers working in any laboratory involved in developing or using particle detection.

I love this book.
If you're a particle physicist starting out in silicon detectors this is an absolute must. Not only does it cover the familiar content about pn-junctions and implant choices but also provides a concise reason for every feature in a modern hybrid silicon detector.
Probably the best collection of information on the topic I've found so far!
