Project Title: Developing semiconductor thin films as radiation sensors
Ionising radiation that modify the structure of an atom, such as gamma rays and x-rays, is everywhere. The ability to detect and accurately measure radiation is therefore of utmost importance for applications such as radiation imaging and therapy, sterilisation, screening of contraband at the borders, and reducing the risk to health care workers. This project will bring together world-class researchers with complementary expertise in semiconductor thin film fabrication, materials characterisation, sensor technology, and electrical engineering from Massey University, Victoria University of Wellington, and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic to explore semiconductor thin films as radiation sensors. The team members will work synergistically to determine the ideal processes and parameters for fabricating the semiconductor thin films, the hitherto unknown electronic and physical properties of the novel semiconductor-based sensor materials, and the effect of ionising radiation on the performance of the sensors. The project is envisaged to extend the newly-established collaboration beyond Catalyst: Seeding into an enduring partnership, as the sensor material will be integrated onto a single-chip with a readout circuit; allowing for a miniature lightweight sensor with a simple structure and many applications.
