Radiation detector

摘要

A method of forming a radiation detector compound comprising: (a) providing a mixture of Cd, Zn and Te; (b) heating the mixture to a liquid state; (c) adding to the liquid mixture a first dopant that adds shallow level donors (electrons) to the top of an energy band gap of said mixture when it is solidified; (d) adding to the liquid mixture a second dopant that adds deep level donors and/or acceptors to the middle of said band gap of said mixture when it is solidified; and (e) solidifying said mixture including said first and second dopants to form the compound.
