A high performance scintillator-silicon-well x-ray microdetector based on DRIE techniques

This paper proposes a X-rays detector based on an array of scintillator crystals, CsI:Tl, encapsulated in a well that is etched into a silicon substrate by deep reactive ion etching. The X-ray energy is first converted to visible light which is detected by a photodetector in the well bottom. DRIE te...
