Abstract
When accelerated electrons enter a semiconductor device, each of them produces thousands of electron-hole pairs. This electron-bombarded multiplication is successfully used to establish a photon sensor in conjunction with a photocathode emitting electrons. An operational principle of the electron-bombarded multiplication and performance of photon sensors adopted this technology are described.
