Abstract
Abstract : This report is a description of the activity during 1996-1999 for the project Development of Microfabricated Radiation Sensor Systems. The project resulted in the development of a new generation of radiation detectors and sensors, formed in thin polyimide with laser micromachining. These foils form both the mechanical support and insulating substrate, resulting in a thin, flexible, and ruggedized detector. During this project, sponsored activity included development of several new microfabricated gas proportional counters for radiation detection, development of techniques required to produce microstructures in laser machined polyimide, development of a laser microfabrication facility at the University of Louisville, development of techniques for post-machining cleaning and plating, operation of prototype detectors, studies of well geometry and its influence upon operation, and measurements with the CCD camera. Several papers reporting detector design and operation were published or will soon be submitted for publication. Five graduate students supported by this project received their degrees.
