AbstractThis paper investigates a feasibility of using a large area image sensor with an optically addressed readout for medical X-ray diagnostic imaging. A device prototype comprises a multilayer glass/ZnO:Al/p (a-SiC:H)/i (a-Si:H)/ n (a-SiC:H)/ i(a-Si:H)/p (a-SiC:H)/ a SiNx/ITO structure coupled to a scintillator layer. Here, the p-i-n-i-p structure works in both sensing and switching modes depending on the biasing conditions. A numerical simulation is used to optimize the semiconductor layer thicknesses in order to achieve a photocurrent matching between back-to-back diodes in switching mode. The charge carrier transport within the p-i-n-i-p structure is also analyzed under different electric and optical biasing conditions. A physical model supports the results.

AbstractLarge area amorphous silicon image sensor arrays are important for x-ray medical imaging and document scanning as well as a variety of other applications where large sensor size is required. The paper first summarizes the present state of the flat panel x-ray imager technology, and compares the two main approaches for x-ray detection. We then describe the performance of a new, large area, high resolution, radiographic imager based on a single amorphous silicon array with 2304×3200 pixels, and an active area of 30×40 cm (12×1 6”).

The University of Tasmania balloon-borne large area X-ray telescope was flown from Alice Springs on 20 November 1978. A number of known X-ray sources were observed and a transient increase believed to be a gamma ray burst was detected.
