Main Methods:

  • Utilized Monte Carlo photon simulation and a charge transport model.
  • Simulated a deep silicon detector with 0.05 mm pixel size.
  • Developed a method to estimate X-ray interaction position based on charge cloud shape.

Main Results:

  • Achieved spatial resolution of 7.1 µm parallel and 3.1 µm orthogonal to the silicon wafer.
  • Simulations considered electronic noise and a 0.88 keV threshold.

Conclusions:

  • Presented a simulation of a deep silicon detector enabling ultra-high resolution X-ray interaction position estimation.
  • High spatial resolution is crucial for detecting finer details in medical images.
