Abstract

We calculated the carrier density, space charge and internal electric field distribution in CdZnTe planar detectors with the consideration of four kinds of defect traps to understand its detection properties under ultrahigh X-ray flux. The results showed that severe space charge collection occurred, and the internal electric field was distorted when the X-ray flux was ultrahigh. This could strongly influence detector performance.
