| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Medical X-ray diagnosis devices such as CT scanners entails the problem of X-ray radiation dose. By improving the sensitivity of the X-ray sensors, the X-ray radiation dose can be decreased and everyone can easily use various kinds of safe X-ray diagnosis without restrictions. In this study, we propose a direct conversion type silicon X-ray sensor adopting a trench-structured photodiodes. This proposed X-ray sensor has the features of high sensitivity, high speed response, long device lifetime, low power consumption, and high energy resolution. The prototype X-ray sensor was fabricated, and this sensor demonstrated the absorbed X-ray-to-current signal conversion efficiency approaching the theoretical limit.
