Hardware components of the detector. The insets show the chip mounted on a ceramic carrier. Each chip has two segment structures, only one of which is used at a time (Feser et al., 2006). Left inset: back (n-) of the chip. This is the side where the X-rays will be incident. A wire connection on the upper right carries the bias voltage. Right inset: segmented front (p-) side. Wire bonds connect the detector segments to the carrier pins through a cut-out in the carrier. |
