Abstract

There is a renewed interest in the application of photoconductors especially Cd(Zn)Te to x-ray imaging. In this paper, We investigate effects on x-ray detection characteristic of Zn dopped CdTe detector. Cd(Zn)Te film was fabricated by vacuum thermal evaporation method and then investigate physical analysis using EPMA and XRD. We investigated the leakage current and X-ray photosensitivity as applied voltage about fabricated Cd(Zn)Te film. Experimental results showed that the increase of Zn dopped concentration in $Cd_{1-x}Zn_{x}Te$ detector reduced a leakage current and improved a signal to noise ratio significantly.
