This chapter introduces the basic silicon properties and their technical application to set the scene and provide understanding of the silicon sensors functionality. The writing concentrates on examples of detectors used in particle physics experiments – in the High Energy Physics HEP. It also describes the working principle of silicon sensors as particle detectors, together with an explanation of their production processes and design parameter considerations.
