摘要
Controlled-drift detectors are fully depleted silicon detectors for X-ray imaging that combine good position resolution with very fast frame readout. The basic feature of the controlled-drift detector is the transport of the charge packets stored in each pixel column to the output electrode by means of a uniform drift field. The drift time of the charge packet identifies the pixel of incidence. Images of an X-ray source obtained with the controlled-drift detector up to 100-kHz frame rate are presented and discussed. The achievable energy resolution as a function of the operating temperature and frame rate is analyzed.
