在过去的二十年中，II-VI族半导体CdTe和CdZnTe（CZT）已成为硬X射线和软伽马射线室温探测的首选材料。在过去的几年里，晶体的生长技术、探测器的设计以及用于阅读探测器的电子设备都有了很大的改进。CdTe/CZT材料目前在天体物理学、医学成像和安全应用中得到应用。本文讨论了CZT探测器技术的最新进展，并概述了可能的新的应用机会。
Over the last two decades, the II-VI semiconductors CdTe and CdZnTe (CZT) has emerged as the material of choice for room temperature detection of hard X-rays and soft gamma-rays. The techniques of growing the crystals, the design of the detectors, and the electronics used for reading out the detectors have been considerably improved over the last few years. CdTe/CZT materials find now applications in astrophysics, medical imaging and security applications. The paper discusses recent progress in CZT detector technology and outlines possible new application opportunities.
