- Purpose: Current photon-counting detectors are limited to a pixel size of 0.3 mm-1 mm, as decreasing the pixel size further generally introduces degraded dose efficiency and energy resolution from excessive charge sharing. In this work, we present experimental measurements of the first photon-counting detector prototype designed to leverage the charge sharing to estimate the photon interaction position, where simulations indicate a theoretical resolution of around 1 µm using a similar geometry. The goal of the measurements is to validate our Monte-Carlo simulation for further development. Approach: DAC sweeps are performed with an X-ray beam at specified locations on the sensor front, with the beam at 20 keV and 35 keV, as well as with different sensor biases with the beam at 35 keV. The experimental data are then compared to a Monte Carlo simulation combined with a charge transport model. In this first prototype wire bonds are used, and as such only a few channels are connected. Results: The experimental data agree generally well with the simulated data with the beam close to the electrodes, with the simulated data diverging from the experiments with the beam further away from the electrodes. The induced charge cloud signal exhibits a fairly linear dependency on the beam position, indicating that any estimation techniques will yield more precise position when the photon interacts further away from the electrodes, rather than closer. Conclusions: With the experimental data and the simulations agreeing generally well, together with the same software previously indicating a resolution of around 1 µm, we expect an ultra-high-resolution detector to be in reach, and are encouraged to continue development.
