Evaluation of CZT detectors with capacitive Frisch grid structure

Abstract
Recent results have shown that capacitive Frisch grid structures significantly improve spectroscopic performance of planar CZT detectors especially at higher energies. This paper presents results obtained with larger detectors than those previously reported on. Devices with various aspect ratios and grid length-to-device thickness ratios were fabricated and evaluated. A FWHM energy resolution of approximately 2% at 662 keV was obtained for a device with dimensions of 5 mm x 5 mm x 9.2 mm.
