Abstract
Measurements using the National Synchrotron Light Source provided a detailed comparisons of the microscale detector response and infrared microscopy images for CdZnTe Frisch-ring x-ray and gamma detectors. Analysis of the data showed conclusively that local deteriorations of the electron charge collection and x-ray device response fully correlate with the presence of Te precipitates as seen in the IR images. Effects of the surface processing conditions on the detector performance were also clearly observed.Keywords
