Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Medical Imaging Physics
  • Semiconductor Devices

Background:

  • Lead oxide (PbO) is explored as an X-ray-to-charge transducer for direct conversion digital X-ray detectors.
  • PbO-based detectors are suitable for high-energy and dynamic medical X-ray imaging applications.
  • Two polymorphs, polycrystalline lead oxide (poly-PbO) and amorphous lead oxide (a-PbO), are key for imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comparatively analyze two PbO-based single-pixel X-ray detector prototypes.
  • To evaluate detector performance based on electron-hole creation energy (W) and signal lag.
  • To understand preparation-fabrication-property relationships for PbO photoconductors.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of two single-pixel X-ray detector prototypes using PbO.
  • Prototype 1: single layer of amorphous lead oxide (a-PbO).
  • Prototype 2: bilayer structure of a-PbO and polycrystalline lead oxide (poly-PbO).
  • Characterization of electron-hole creation energy (W) and signal lag properties.
  • Analysis of structural and morphological properties of PbO.

Main Results:

  • Both a-PbO single-layer and a-PbO/poly-PbO bilayer structures exhibit adequate temporal response for real-time X-ray imaging.
  • Both detector prototypes demonstrate high intrinsic sensitivity.
  • The performance is linked to the structural and morphological characteristics of the PbO materials.

Conclusions:

  • PbO-based X-ray detectors, particularly the bilayer structure, are viable for next-generation direct conversion digital X-ray imaging.
  • The findings contribute to understanding PbO material properties for optimized detector design.
  • Optimized PbO detectors hold potential for dynamic and low-dose medical X-ray applications.
