Abstract

<p>A silicon X-ray sensor with trench-structured photodiodes was studied and the influence of Compton scattering was estimated. By irradiating the target pixel with X-rays and measuring the signal from adjacent pixels, X-ray scattering and pixel blur of the proposed sensor was determined. An X-ray sensor with a length of 22.6 mm was designed and fabricated, and its modulation transfer function (MTF) was obtained. A sensor structure to improve the MTF level to that of CdTe was proposed.</p>
