Diamond UV / X-Ray Detectors

Using diamonds for detectors is not a new technology.As early as 1920's highly selected natural diamonds were being used for UV detectors. The recent commercial availablity of high purity single crystal diamond with excellent bulk uniformity is however a new development and was launched in 2007 by Diamond Detectors Ltd (DDL).

Reasons for selecting diamond include:

Intrinsic Properties

  • Low Z (tissue equivalent)
  • Low absorption
  • High thermal conductivity
  • Radiation Hardness
  • Wide band gap 5.5ev (no thermally generated noise)
  • High Hole and Electron Mobilities

Detector Properties

  • High sensitivity
  • Good spatial and temporal resolution achievable
  • Low leakage currents and stable (0.01pA / pixel)
  • Low capacitance

Device Advantages

  • Intrinsically simple device
  • Can fabricate robust, compact devices
  • High temperature operation (no need for cooling)

Applications Include

  • High Energy Physics
  • Medical Therapy/Dosimetry (X-ray & Particle Therapies)
  • Synchrotrons and Cyclotrons
  • Radiation Monitoring (nuclear,medical and oil & gas)
  • Deep UV (sub 240nm)
  • Civil Nuclear
