Development of 4-Sides Buttable CdTe-ASIC Hybrid Module for X-ray Flat Panel Detector

A 4-sides buttable CdTe-ASIC hybrid module suitable for use in an X-ray flat panel detector (FPD) has been developed by applying through silicon via (TSV) technology to the readout ASIC. The ASIC has 128 times 256 channels of charge integration type readout circuitry and an area of 12.9 mm times 25....

Zusammenfassung:A 4-sides buttable CdTe-ASIC hybrid module suitable for use in an X-ray flat panel detector (FPD) has been developed by applying through silicon via (TSV) technology to the readout ASIC. The ASIC has 128 times 256 channels of charge integration type readout circuitry and an area of 12.9 mm times 25.7 mm. The CdTe sensor of 1 mm thickness, having the same area and pixel of 100 mum pitch, was fabricated from the Cl-doped CdTe single crystal grown by traveling heater method (THM). Then the CdTe pixel sensor was hybridized with the ASIC using the bump-bonding technology. The basic performance of this 4-sides buttable module was evaluated by taking X-ray images, and it was compared with that of a commercially available indirect type CsI(Tl) FPD. A prototype CdTe FPD was made by assembling 9 pieces of the 4-sides buttable modules into 3 times 3 arrays in which the neighboring modules were mounted on the interface board. The FPD covers an active area of 77 mm times 39 mm. The results showed the great potential of this 4-sides buttable module for the new real time X-ray FPD with high spatial resolution.
