Abstract
This device for the detection of ionizing radiation includes a stack integrating a first set of electrodes (1), a solid detector material sensitive to ionizing radiation (2), capable of interacting therewith by releasing electron and electron hole mobile charge carriers, and a second set of electrodes (3), said first and second sets of electrodes being polarized in such a way that an electric field is applied through the detector material (2), thereby allowing the charge carriers generated by the interaction between the detector material and the ionizing radiation to migrate. It further includes electrically insulated electrodes (41-44), known as non-collecting electrodes, and positioned in the volume of the detector material (2) subjected to the electric field, and capable, by capacitive effect, of detecting the charges induced by the migration of the charge carriers in the volume of the detector subjected to the electric field.
