This paper considers the physical processes which govern the operation of semiconductors particle detectors. It contains it discussion of; the production of hole-electron pairs by energetic particle in solids; the motion of the pairs under the influence of an electric field and the presence of trapping and recombination; the current wave shape resulting from transport of these carriers; the production of the high electric feilds to facilitate transport in the single conductivity and junction devices; and the influence of high density of the holes and electrons along particle tracks on the transport processes.
