Abstract
A multilayer stacked X-ray camera concept is described. This type of technology is called `4H' X-ray cameras, where 4H stands for high-Z (Z>30) sensor, high-resolution (less than 300 micron pixel pitch), high-speed (above 100 MHz), and high-energy (above 30 keV in photon energy). The components of the technology, similar to the popular two-dimensional (2D) hybrid pixelated array detectors, consists of GaAs:Cr sensors bonded to high-speed ASICs. 4H cameras based on GaAs also use integration mode of X-ray detection. The number of layers, on the order of ten, is smaller than an earlier configuration for single-photon-counting (SPC) mode of detection [1]. High-speed ASIC based on modification to the ePix family of ASIC is discussed. Applications in X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs), synchrotrons, medicine and non-destructive testing are possible.
