A Successful Wire Bonding Technique for CZT Strip Detectors and Detector Arrays TOP ()

Abstract:
Using this technique, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has developed a 60 cm2 CZT strip detector with 580,000 pixels for high-resolution gamma-ray astronomy in the 10,150 keV energy range with less than 100 µm spatial resolution. Further imaging tests at low energy levels have demonstrated 30 µm spatial resolution. Goddard Space Flight Center has made advances allowing the use of semiconductor fabrication techniques to manufacture a 60 cm2 CZT strip detector with 580,000 pixels for high-resolution gamma-ray astronomy. Goddard's fabrication process results in a highly reliable detector that is smaller and lighter than conventional photomultiplier tubes and thinner than silicon detectors. Goddard has developed a 60 cm2 CZT strip detector with 580,000 pixels for high-resolution gamma-ray astronomy in the 10,150 keV energy range with less than 100 µm spatial resolution.
