Pulse-height loss in the signal readout circuit of compound semiconductor detectors
Compound semiconductor detectors such as CdTe, CdZnTe, HgI2 and TlBr are known to exhibit large variations in their charge collection times. This paper considers the effect of such variations on the measurement of induced charge pulses by using resistive feedback charge-sensitive preamplifiers. It is shown that, due to the finite decaytime constant of the preamplifiers, the capacitive decay dur...
متن کاملDevelopment of compound semiconductor detectors at ESA
Some examples of space-borne applications that require improvements in detector technology compared with conventional Si and Ge designs are described. Properties of compound semiconductors are noted, and a range of different detector developments are briefly reviewed. Material fabrication improvements for several compound semiconductors have resulted in near Fano-limited performance.
متن کاملHigh Resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy with Compound Semiconductor Detectors and Digital Pulse Processing Systems
The advent of semiconductor detectors has revolutionized the broad field of X-ray spectroscopy. Semiconductor detectors, originally developed for particle physics, are now widely used for X-ray spectroscopy in a large variety of fields, as X-ray fluorescence analysis, X-ray astronomy and diagnostic medicine. The success of semiconductor detectors is due to several unique properties that are not...
متن کاملSignal-to-Noise in Silicon Microstrip Detectors with Binary Readout
We report the results of a beam test using double-sided ACcoupled silicon microstrip detectors with binary readout, i.e., a readout where the signals are discriminated in the front-end electronics and only the hit location as kept. For strip pitch between 50μm and 200μm, we determine the efficiency and the noise background as function of threshold setting. This allows us to reconstruct the Land...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Monte Carlo transport methods in x-ray semiconductor detectors: application to pulse-height spectroscopy in a-Se.
PURPOSE The authors describe a detailed Monte Carlo (MC) method for the coupled transport of ionizing particles and charge carriers in amorphous selenium (a-Se) semiconductor x-ray detectors, and model the effect of statistical variations on the detected signal. METHODS A detailed transport code was developed for modeling the signal formation process in semiconductor x-ray detectors. The char...
