Abstract
Photoconductor linear array detectors for hard X-ray photon detection were fabricated using Molecular Beam Epitaxially (MBE) grown (111)B CdTe on (100) Si substrates. The ohmic contact to the CdTe was excellent and provided a linear response to the X-ray photons. The response current was linearly increased in a 7–19 keV energy range. The stability of the detectors was very satisfactory and they were tested over an extended period of time without noticeable degradation. The excellent response uniformity of a 64 linear array was obtained. The performance of the photoconductor was greatly improved when the detector was cooled. At 230 K, the dynamic range of the detector response increased to nearly four decades.
