Abstract: Intended for direct conversion X-ray imaging, a three-terminal amorphous semiconductor cascade detector is proposed where carrier generation and collection are separated by vertical and lateral electric fields. The proof-of-concept detector is prototyping using an amorphous selenium semiconductor layer thickness of 200 µm that exhibits a low leakage current of - 2 pA under a lateral bias of 60 V and a vertical bias of 100 V. The X-ray signal current increases with dose rate and vertical fields as expected.  The new detector has advantages in spatial resolution, structural simplicity, ease of integration and fabrication, enhanced functionalities, and speed of response.  Moreover, the detector can be turned ON/OFF by either X-ray energy or lateral field, demonstrating a unique transistor behavior that can extend to a number of digital imaging applications.
