High Performance Amorphous Silicon Image Sensor for X-ray Diagnostic Medical Imaging Applications
Following our previous report concerning the development of a 127 μm resolution, 7.4 million pixel, 30 x 40 cm active area, flat panel amorphous Silicon (a-Si) x-ray image sensor, this paper describes enhancements in image sensor performance in the areas of image lag, linearity, sensitivity, and electronic noise. New process improvements in fabricating a-Si thin film transistor (TFT)/photodiode...
متن کاملNew Amorphous-Silicon Image Sensor for X-ray Diagnostic Medical Imaging Applications
This paper introduces new high-resolution amorphous Silicon (a-Si) image sensors specifically configured for demonstrating film-quality medical x-ray imaging capabilities. The device utilizes an x-ray phosphor screen coupled to an array of a-Si photodiodes for detecting visible light, and a-Si thin-film transistors (TFTs) for connecting the photodiodes to external readout electronics. We have d...
متن کاملElectronic transport in hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon: similarities with amorphous silicon
Undoped hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (lc-Si:H) layers were grown by the very high frequency glow discharge (VHF-GD) technique under various deposition conditions. The electronic transport properties under illumination were investigated by means of steady-state photoconductivity and steady-state photocarrier grating methods. Similarly to hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), power la...
متن کاملMechanisms of metastability in hydrogenated amorphous silicon
We survey theoretical approaches to understanding the diverse metastable behavior in hydrogenated amorphous silicon. We discuss a recently developed network-rebonding model involving bonding rearrangements of silicon and hydrogen atoms. Using tight-binding molecular dynamics we find non-radiative recombination can break weak silicon bonds with low activation energies, producing dangling bond–fl...
متن کاملPhase contrast imaging: Effect of increased object-detector distances at X-ray diagnostic and megavoltage energies
This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting galley proof before it is published in its final citable form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which coul...
