Description
We have developed a pixellated high-energy X-ray detector instrument to be used in a variety of imaging applications. The instrument consists of a Cadmium Zinc Telluride based detector bump-bonded to a large area ASIC and packaged with a high performance data acquisition system. The 80 by 80 pixels each of 250um by 250um give 1-1.5kev energy resolution at the same time providing a high speed imaging performance. This system uses a relatively simple wire-bonded interconnection scheme but this is being upgraded to allow multiple modules to be used with very small dead space. The readout system and the novel interconnect technology is described and how the system is performing in several target applications.
