Abstract
Surface effects play an important role in the overall performance of X-ray detector. The effects of passivation with (NH4)2S on semi-insulating polycrystalline CdZnTe thick films were analyzed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoconductive decay (PCD), noise power spectrum and pulse height spectra measurements. Sulfur passivation with (HN 4)2S effectively removes the Teoxide layers on the CdZnTe surface, reduces the surface leakage current and gives higher energy resolution by suppressing 1/f noise.
