Description
There is a growing need for large area X-ray sensors. The next generation of X-ray sensors will be oriented towards digital imaging by making use of semiconductor materials with direct conversion at high efficiency so-called High-Z materials. Up to now, the production of large area sensors based on highly efficient semiconductors is limited. These limitations are related to growth process and fabrication. Novel materials and production techniques must be considered to take advantage of semiconductor X-ray sensors. Several semiconductors have been analysed in recent years, e.g., GaAs, (Cd,Zn)Te CZT, and recently Perovskites.
The presentation will give an actual summary about the different high-Z materials and detector development including the latest results of novel Perovskite semiconductors.
