Abstract
We report on the injection of electrons from surface structures of Silicon Drift Detectors into the bulk of the detector for calibration purposes. Also, with these injector structures, detection of magnetic field components perpendicular to the detector's surface is possible. Implanted line and dot injectors along with MOS injectors are discussed. Studies of lateral uniformity of injection, biasing of injectors to facilitate injection and dot injection are discussed.
