A Flat Panel Detector

A Flat Panel Detector is proposed for detecting radiation. Inheriting from plasma display panel structure, the flat panel detector has a potential in low manufacture cost, long life time and wide application prospective. In this work, the structure of the novel flat panel detector is introduced and the detector behavior has been studied with respect to many parameters, including the hole diameter, the operating voltages, the size of the drift region and shadow mask. The results reveal the unique characteristics of the detector and provide guidelines for further modifying the current structure.
