5 Why CdZnTe? (1) Superior energy resolution Limit of semi. (CdZnTe) % Theoretical limit of scintillators Meas. uncertainty Resolution = Signal amplitude NaI Semiconductors Scintillators 0 2% 2.5-3% 7% 0.2% (High Purity Ge) (LaCl 3 ) (2) Higher sensitivity per unit volume (higher Z and density) compactness CdZnTe( , 6.0), High-purity Ge(32, 5.32) (3) Room-temperature operation (no cryogenic cooling) Wide band-gap Technical challenges (1) Severe hole trapping & electron trapping cause signal deficit (2) Crystal yield (cost) and non-uniformity
