Abstract:
Devices and methods for a rugged semiconductor radiation detector are provided. The semiconductor detector may include a hermetically sealed housing and a semiconductor disposed within the housing that has a first surface and a second surface opposite one another. A first metallization layer may at least partially cover the first surface of the semiconductor and a second metallization layer may at least partially cover the second surface of the semiconductor. The first metallization layer or the second metallization layer, or both, do not extend completely to an edge of the semiconductor, thereby providing a nonconductive buffer zone. This reduces electrical field stresses that occur when a voltage potential is applied between the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer and reduces a likelihood of electrical failure (e.g., due to arcing).

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the semiconductor further comprises:\n an electrode plate disposed within the housing and configured to receive a supply voltage; and a conductive adhesive and support structure at least partially covering the second metallization layer and at least partially covering the electrode plate, wherein the conductive adhesive and support structure is configured to attach the second metallization layer to the electrode plate and provide the supply voltage to the second metallization layer, wherein the supply voltage and another voltage applied to the first metallization layer provide the voltage potential between the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer; wherein:\n the conductive adhesive and support structure does not extend completely to an edge of the second metallization layer, thereby providing a second nonconductive buffer zone between the edge of the second metallization layer and an edge of the conductive adhesive and support structure, thereby reducing electrical field stresses that occur when the voltage potential is applied between the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer via the conductive adhesive and support structure; or \n the conductive adhesive and support structure provides a space between the electrode plate and the second metallization layer, thereby providing a third nonconductive buffer zone between at least part of the second metallization layer and the electrode plate, thereby reducing electrical field stresses that occur when the voltage potential is applied between the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer via the conductive adhesive and support structure; or \n both.
