Abstract

The possibilities for the application of CdTe layer with a Schottky barrier as an X-ray photoconductor in direct-conversion flat-panel X-ray image detectors for digital fluoroscopy and radiography are analyzed. Conditions for obtaining a low dark current, high charge collection and detection efficiency of X-ray radiation are investigated in the photon energy range of 10-100 keV.
