The purpose of this master's thesis is to improve the performance of cryogenic light detectors, such as those used in the CRESST experiment, by taking advantage of the Neganov-Trofimov-Luke Effect (NTLE). This effect enhances the thermal signal of particle interactions in a semiconductor absorber operated at cryogenic temperatures by drifting the electron-hole pairs created within an electric field. One of the main problems with such detectors comes from an incomplete charge collection. I present here the results obtained with a new type of NTLE detector using implanted contacts to improve the charge collection within the semiconductor.     «
