摘要
This paper describes a new area sensor for soft X-rays, and its performance. The operational principle is based on detecting the change in potential of a floating photodiode caused by X-ray-induced electron-hole pairs generation in a stacked amorphous silicon photoconversion layer. The photoresponse was measured at wavelength from 50 Angstrom to 160 Angstrom. The signal to noise ratio of 28 dB was achieved, when the number of incident 70 Angstrom X-ray photons is as low as 230/pixel. Quantum Efficiency (stored carriers / photon) at 70 Angstrom wavelength was 22. In addition, good reproducibility (< 10 % deviation) between different detectors and good reproducibility (< 20 % deviation) after ten months were also clarified. The performance of this area sensor indicates its potential for detection of soft X-ray images.
