“…An interesting domain, outside of the CMOS mainstream, has been presented by single-electron transistors (SETs), [67,68]. Single electron transistors are devices with a capacitance so small that a single electron can generate a measurable voltage (above the thermal voltage).…”

This chapter covers the principles and basic limits of signal processing for detectors based on measurements of charge induced on predominantly capacitive electrodes. While this presents a very limited scope, it already includes a broad range of different detector technologies employed in experiments in several areas of science and in various imaging devices. Detector technologies of interest involve semiconductors, gas and liquid ionization media as well as photo detectors converting (scintillation light) into photo-electrons or ionization. One class of detectors not considered here are bolometric detectors (see Sect. 10.4). The literature cited in this chapter is twofold: the textbooks, tutorials and review articles which may serve to provide a systematic introduction to the reader, and references to journal articles describing specific applications and technological solutions. The former, while very good and useful, are unfortunately few, the latter are only a small selection from the vast body of journal articles and conference records. The former are listed first [1-10], and the latter are cited along with the material presented in this chapter. For many detectors, particularly very large scale detectors used at colliding beam machines in particle and nuclear physics, systems aspects require most of the attention in the design. In high precision measurements of energy, time arrival or position of the incident particle or photon the noise introduced in the measurement is of primary interest. Each area of science may impose greatly different requirements on various performance parameters of the detector and signal processing. A silicon pixel detector for particle tracking at a high luminosity collider requires very short
