Abstract
A method of fabricating a semiconductor detector device to exhibit a target sensitivity to incident radiation in a predetermined energy range is described, the method comprising: providing a semiconductor detector; defining on a detector surface of the semiconductor detector a large plurality of pixels; wherein the detector is geometry is controlled with reference to the size of the said pixels such that a single interaction event in the predetermined energy range will produce a detectable signal in each of a plurality of adjacent pixels making up a cluster of at least three pixels. A detector fabricated by such a method and a method of obtaining spectral information about incident radiation using such a detector are also described.
