The spread of the signal during the drift period before collection is a critical parameter for silicon drift detector operation. In this work, simulations have been used to gain an understanding of the charge cloud evolution. Diffusion, coulomb repulsion within the charge cloud, and variations in the drift field were all found to influence the signal spread. Fluctuations in dopant concentration were found to dramatically influence the drift field.
