The application of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a–Si:H) to optoelectronic devices are now well established as a viable low cost technology and is presently receiving much interest. Taking advantage of the properties of a–Si:H based devices, single and dual axis large area (up to 80×80 mm2) thin film position sensitive detectors (TFPSD) based on a–Si:H p–i–n diodes have been developed, produced by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. In this study, the main optoelectronic properties presented by the TFPSD as well as their behavior under operation conditions, concerning its linearity and signal to noise ratio, are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
