Prediction

Dark Rate = X events/second

Dark Rate = Probability of occurrence * Volume of Sensitive region * Density of Valence Electrons * Rate of Scattering

$Probability=e^{-E_{g}/kT}$

$E_{g}Silicon=1.12eV$

$k=1.3806503*10^{-23}JK^{-1}$

$Probability=e^{-(1.12*1.6*10^{-19})/(1.381*10^{-23}*T)}$

thin depletion region (0.7-0.8 um)

Make sure to do it in pixels

$Volume=4.4mm^{2}*0.00075mm$

$Volume=0.0033mm^{3}$

Volume = 0.0033 mm^3 * 200 pixels

$Collisions=?$

Mean velocity of valence elctrons = Fermi Velocity

Fermi momentum / Mass

Fermi momemtum = sqrt{2E_f/M_e}

Mass of Electron =
