High flux CZT detectors show peculiar physical properties that enable several applications in hard X-ray energy range . However, the particular electronic structure of high flux crystals requires a dedicate contact technology. In this work, we describe the technology improvements carried out on the preparation of high quality contacts, as well as several experiments that show the high...
