TL;DR
This paper reviews the evolution of pixel detectors over 20 years, highlighting technological advances, overcoming prejudices, and the shift towards integrated, monolithic devices for particle tracking and imaging.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of the historical development, current state, and future prospects of pixel detector technology, emphasizing the transition to monolithic designs.
Findings
Pixel detectors have evolved significantly over two decades.
Prejudices against certain technologies have been overcome.
Monolithic pixel detectors are now a promising direction.
Abstract
Pixel detectors have been the working horse for high resolution, high rate and radiation particle tracking for the past 20 years. The field has spun off into imaging applications with equal uniqueness. Now the move is towards larger integration and fully monolithic devices with to be expected spin-off into imaging again. Many judices and prejudices that were around at times were overcome and surpassed. This paper attempts to give an account of the developments following a line of early prejudices and later insights.
