Notes:
The silicon photodiode array Hamamatsu S3901 series (1024, 25 μm pixel) were primarily developed for the visible-UV spectral range, mainly for photon wavelengths between 200 and 1100 nm. By utilizing it without a quartz window, it is demonstrated that this sensor can be used for x rays, especially in the 1–10 keV range. Experimental measurements of the absolute detection efficiency of the photodiode array between 1.5 and 12 keV are presented. The experiments were performed on an x-ray tube-excited secondary targets and on the SB3 beamline at the Super ACO storage ring (LURE-Orsay). The measured spectral efficiency is compared with the results of a simple model calculation based on the data given in the Hamamatsu note. The simulation is in good agreement with the experimental data for a silicon active depth of 6 μm and a silicon dioxide passivation layer of 5 μm. The linearity is better than 1% and the spatial resolution is estimated to be 120 μm. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
