Abstract

To evaluate the performance of cadmium sulfide as a multi-function X-ray dosimeter, we made an X-ray detector that was based on cadmium sulfide using evaporation technology, and measured its response to X-ray exposure. The voltages of cadmium sulfide were measured on the various X-ray tube potentials, X-ray tube currents and exposure times. The regression analysis of the voltage response of CdS on the tube-potential variation was y=0.0995x-0.1146 ($R^2$=0.9595, $\sigma$=0.08, standard error=2%) and the regression analysis of the voltage response of CdS on the tube-potential variation was y=0.0439x+1.1891 ($R^2$=0.9021, $\sigma$=0.04, standard error=1.8%) The regression analysis of the voltage response of CdS on the X-ray exposure time variation was y=8.2853+5.5878 ($R^2$=0.7287, $\sigma$=0.06, standard error=1.9%). In conclusion, cadmium sulfide responded linearly to the variation X-ray conditions, suggesting cadmium sulfide to be a feasible X-ray sensor of multi-function dosimeter related instruments.

다기능 X-선 선량계로서의 cadmium sulfide의 X-선에 대한 특성을 평가하기 위해 cadmium sulfide 기반의 X-선 선량계를 진공 증착법을 사용하여 제작하였으며 X-선 노출에 따른 cadmium sulfide의 반응을 측정하였다. Cadmium sulfide의 X-선 관전압, 관전류, 조사시간에 따른 전압의 변화를 측정하여 이를 분석하였다. X-선의 관전압에 따른 cadmium sulfide의 반응을 회귀분석을 통해 통계처리 한 결과 y=0.0995x-0.1146 ($R^2$=0.9595, $\sigma$=0.08, standard error=2%) 이고 X-선 관전류에 따른 cadmium sulfide의 출력신호를 분석한 결과 y=0.0439x+1.1891 ($R^2$=0.9021, $\sigma$=0.04, standard error=1.8%)였다. 또한 X-선 조사시간에 따른 cadmium sulfide의 반응을 같은 통계 방법으로 통계처리한 결과 y=8.2853x+5.5878 ($R^2$=0.7287, $\sigma$=0.06, standard error=1.9%) 였다. 결론적으로 cadmium sulfide의 X-선에 대한 반응은 X-선의 에너지가 증가됨에 따라 선형적으로 반응함을 알 수 있었으며 제작된 cadmium sulfide의 X-선의 다기능 선량계로서의 그 사용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.
