Radiation detector with gas-filled closed space for circuit element
The patent US12044816B2 describes a novel radiation detector designed to enhance the detection and analysis of radiation. Central to the invention is a radiation detection element that features an incident surface for radiation exposure and a circuit element housed within a closed space that does not face the incident surface. This closed space can be either decompressed or filled with an inert or dry gas, which is intended to improve the performance and reliability of the detector. The design includes a housing that accommodates both the radiation detection element and the circuit element, with an unblocked opening allowing radiation to enter. Additional features include moisture and gas getters to maintain the integrity of the closed space, as well as configurations that involve substrates and plate-shaped members to create specific closed spaces for enhanced detection capabilities.
Moreover, the patent outlines various configurations and enhancements for the radiation detector, such as the inclusion of a cooling unit for the detection element and an amplifier circuit to boost the signals generated by the detector. The invention also encompasses a broader radiation detection apparatus that integrates the radiation detector with a spectrum generation unit, which produces a spectrum of the detected radiation. This apparatus may further include an irradiation unit for exposing samples to radiation and a display unit for visualizing the generated spectrum. Overall, the claims detail a comprehensive approach to improving radiation detection technology, focusing on structural innovations and functional enhancements that aim to optimize performance in various applications.
