This configuration allows for a good spatial resolution, provides a more uniform electric field than conventional segmented electrodes, and reduces production and electronic integration costs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”4555″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The present technology has highlighted how position-sensitive radiation detection is possible using a continuous electrode, as opposed to the conventional use of a segmented electrode. Surprisingly, it is sufficient for the contacts to be segmented to ensure position resolution. Since the electric field within the detector is determined by a bias applied to the electrodes, the resulting electric field is uniform. This uniformity of the field alleviates the disadvantages of the conventional approach with segmented electrodes.\u202fThe use of a continuous electrode allows for a more economical production and simplified implementation of charge multiplication on the electrode with the highest field strength.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
