Description

Position energy time testing system and device based on CZT detector
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of radiation measurement, in particular to a position energy time testing system and device based on a CZT detector.
Background
The Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductor is a room-temperature X-ray and gamma-ray detecting material with excellent performance, is a wide-gap II-VI compound semiconductor crystal formed by solid solution of CdTe and ZnTe, and can be used in environmental monitoring, medical diagnosis, industrial nondestructive detection, safety inspection, space science and other fieldsThe domain has wide application prospect. Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductors have at least the following advantages: 1. cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductor is the only semiconductor capable of working at room temperature and processing millions to tens of millions of photons per square millimeter of area per second, the sensitivity of the semiconductor can reach the limit, even the radiation quantity of the cosmic background rays which is weak to almost none can be captured quickly and accurately, and the discovery thereof has caused the booming of the industry. 2. Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductor has excellent photoelectric properties, can directly convert X-rays and gamma-rays into electrons at room temperature, and is the most ideal semiconductor material for manufacturing room-temperature X-ray and gamma-ray detectors. Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductor has a ratio of about 10% ZnTe to 80% CdTe11High crystal resistivity of omega cm, 48-52 atomic number and large forbidden band width. And with the different Zn content, the forbidden bandwidth is continuously changed from 1.4eV to 2.26eV, the melting point is changed from 1092 to 1295 ℃, the manufactured detector has small leakage current, good energy resolution to X-rays and gamma-rays at room temperature, and electrodeless phenomenon with the energy detection range of 10keV to 6 Mev.
The traditional SPECT nuclear medicine equipment detector adopts the design of sodium iodide crystal (NaI) + Photomultiplier (PMT) all the time, the radiopharmaceutical injected into a human body emits gamma photons, the gamma photons are positioned and projected onto the NaI crystal through a collimator and converted into visible light, and then the visible light is photoelectrically converted into electric signals through the PMT photomultiplier and amplified, and the electric signals are transmitted to an electronic circuit and a workstation for reconstruction and imaging. The indirect imaging technology of multiple conversion can cause a large amount of photons to be lost, and the efficiency of converting visible light into an electric signal by the PMT is only about 20-25%, so that the traditional SPECT nuclear medical equipment is greatly limited in counting rate and resolution. However, the working principle of the novel CZT crystal detector is as follows: the gamma rays are projected to the CZT crystal to generate electron and hole pairs, thin metal electrodes are arranged on the surface of the CZT crystal, electric fields are generated in the crystal by the electrodes under the action of bias voltage, negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes move towards different electrodes, and finally formed charge pulse signals are amplified and processed through a subsequent electronic circuit to be imaged. The novel CZT crystal detector does not need a photomultiplier and a photoelectric conversion process, the detection efficiency is greatly improved, the energy resolution ratio is improved by more than 3 times compared with that of the traditional NaI scintillation crystal, the mode of switching from indirect imaging to direct imaging can directly convert X rays and gamma rays into electrons at room temperature, and the CZT crystal is the most ideal semiconductor material for manufacturing room temperature X rays and gamma ray detectors so far.
Further, the operating principle of the CZT crystal detector is as follows: the semiconductor detector has two electrodes to which a certain bias voltage is applied. When an incident particle enters the sensitive region of a semiconductor detector, electron-hole pairs are generated. Upon application of a voltage to the electrodes, the charge carriers drift towards the electrodes and charges are induced on the collecting electrodes, forming signal pulses in an external circuit. However, in semiconductor detectors, the average energy consumed by an incident particle to generate an electron-hole pair is about one tenth of the energy consumed by a gas ionization chamber to generate an ion pair, and thus the semiconductor detectors have much better energy resolution than scintillation counters and gas ionization detectors. The sensitive region of the semiconductor detector should be close to the ideal semiconductor material, and in fact, the general semiconductor material has higher impurity concentration, and the impurity must be compensated or the purity of the semiconductor single crystal must be improved.
Although Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductors do not have the resolution of high purity germanium, the resolution is fully satisfactory for isotope detection applications. Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductor can be detected at room temperature without liquid nitrogen or mechanical cryogenic cooling, so that the Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductor detector has a small appearance and can be used for mobile application; because no energy is required to power the mechanical refrigeration chiller, it has a longer battery life and is available for field work. If the cost can be reduced, the Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) based semiconductor detector system not only replaces the current high-purity germanium, but also can expand the application range of the high-performance isotope detector and even extend to the application field of the current sodium iodide detector, which cannot be reached by the high-purity germanium. The work principle of the Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductor detector system is as follows: when rays act with a Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) crystal, electron and hole pairs are generated in the crystal, under the action of an electric field, negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes respectively move to different electrodes, induced current is generated on the electrodes, and formed current pulses are changed into voltage pulses through a charge sensitive preamplifier and converted into Gaussian pulses through a shaping amplifier. The room-temperature semiconductor nuclear radiation detector (cadmium zinc telluride CZT detector) with excellent performance has higher energy resolution, quantum efficiency and detection efficiency, and can be applied to a plurality of fields such as industrial nondestructive testing, safety inspection, environmental monitoring, nuclear medicine imaging and the like.
The detector generally has a planar structure, a trapping electrode structure, a coplanar grid structure, a capacitive Frichi grid structure, a hemispherical structure, a pixel structure and the like, the actual dosage used for site monitoring is the surrounding dosage equivalent according to the definition, and instruments used for measuring the surrounding dosage equivalent rate in site monitoring generally require that the angular response is approximately isotropic. The dose equivalence ratio around the field is for the alignment-extended field of the radiation field, requiring a uniform angular response of the detector instrument at the time of actual measurement. The angular response is an important indicator of the rate of dose equivalents around with the detector. In the prior art, for example, royal fluorescence, bear, handsome, llain, et, multifunctional dose rate meter applicability research based on a hemispherical tellurium-zinc-cadmium detector [ J ] atomic energy science, 2014,48(S1):618-622.

According to the CZT crystal array detector, the relatively thick CZT crystal array and the small-size pixel surface element electrode are adopted, and meanwhile, excellent energy resolution and high spatial resolution of a testing system are guaranteed. As shown in fig. 1 and 7, the pixel detectors 120 are respectively disposed on respective corresponding bases, which provide mechanical support for the pixel detectors 120 and may further be disposed with conductive wires or other testing elements. Preferably, an optical modulator is disposed between the scintillation crystal array 110 and the pixel detector 120, and the optical modulator is configured to modulate the transmission of scintillation light between the scintillation crystal array 110 and the pixel detector 120.
