Abstract
Disclosed is a radiation detector element including a stack of layers superimposed in a stacking direction, the stack having a first face and a second face and including a radiation-absorbing layer consisting of a first semiconductor material having a first band gap value and at least one barrier layer consisting of a second semiconductor material having a second band gap value, the second band gap value being strictly greater than the first band gap value. The stack further delimits a primary hole traversing each of the layers of the stack, the primary hole receiving at least part of a primary electrode. The barrier layer includes a first conducting zone having a free carrier density greater than or equal to 1.10/cm.
