Abstract
A two-dimensional detector of ionizing radiation and a process for manufacturing the detector. The detector includes sheets emitting particles by interaction with ionizing radiation, semiconducting layers that alternate with the sheets and can be ionized by the particles, and groups of conducting tracks in contact with the layers. A created electric field is used to collect charge carriers generated in the layers due to interaction with particles, through the tracks. For example, the layer and the corresponding tracks are formed on each sheet and the sheets are then assembled together. The detector, as an example, is applicable to radiography and can achieve good X-ray detection efficiency and high spatial resolution at the same time.
