X-Scan
Imaging Corporation manufactures
a family of single-chip CMOS silicon photo-diode buttable array detectors
with on-chip, fully integrated signal processing circuits designed for
visible wavelength and X-ray imaging applications. A
scintillator layer is attached to the surface of the detector array,
which converts X-ray photons into visible light. A variety of standard
x-ray sensitive scintillator materials are available for applications
in industrial inspection, airport security and cargo screening.
Each detector series is
configured as a contiguous linear array of photodiodes including, a
timing generator, digital scanning shift register, an array of charge
integrating amplifiers, sample-and-hold circuits, and signal amplification
chain. It is designed to permit end-to-end butting on a printed circuit
board to form a single longer detector array for extended length scanning
applications.
The complete family
of detector modules is listed in the following table: |
