High Resistivity Amorphous Selenium Alloy Semiconductors For Radiation Detection Applications, Abhinav Mehta

Theses and Dissertations

High resolution noninvasive tools of diagnosis has always derived and enabled scientific and medical research to probe and better understand subtleties of matter, intangible to the human eye. Radiation detection systems are highly dependent on advancements in materials and devices with front-end electronics. There are various discrete applications of these radiation detectors and each application imposes certain requirements so there is no single optimum radiation detector.

Flat panel x-ray imagers have gained high demand in the past decade because of exponential improvement in readout electronics. We have synthesized and investigated stabilized amorphous selenium (a-Se) alloys suitable for high resolution flat …
