Description
The new TCAD tools for IC modeling allow the verification of the silicon circuit
implementation from the fabrication stages to the final implementation circuits.
Using such setup a study of the Minimum Ionizing Particle (MIP) has been carried on
in order to optimize and predict behaviors of the Silicon Detectors used by High
Energy Physics experiments. This paper shows the use of such tools to model and
reproduce detection conditions for Active Pixel Sensor detectors and their possible
influence over the initial design expectations.
