Abstract

The intrinsic sensitivity of Cadmium Zinc Telluride (Cd_1-xZn_xTe) semiconductor detectors has been experimentally measured, within the X-ray diagnostic energy range. The results of this study indicate that the intrinsic efficiency of Cd_1-xZn_xTe can be increased by optimizing geometrical and physical detection parameters such as X-ray irradiation geometry, detector thickness, and applied electric field. These results indicate that Cd_1-xZn_xTe is a suitable candidate for digital imaging applications.
