Summary

In this paper, the D0 collaboration reports on the test results of 142 880 VLPC pixels. The authors have explored the space of operating conditions and find good performance at a temperature of 9 K and an average bias voltage of 7 V. Preliminary tests have shown an average quantum efficiency of 80% and a gain of 20 000 -- 60 000. Tests have shown that the devices can be made to work at very high rates. The pixel-to-pixel variation within a chip is manageable, allowing one to assemble like-performing VLPC chips into cassettes containing 1024 pixels each.
