X-ray tests of a Pixel Array Detector for coherent x-ray imaging at the Linac Coherent Light Source

Test results are presented of a pixel array detector (PAD) developed for x-ray imaging at the Stanford Linear Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The basic module of the PAD consists of two bump-bonded chips: a reverse-biased silicon diode chip of 185 ? 194 pixels, each of which is coupled by bump-bonds to a charge integrating CMOS ASIC with digitization in each pixel. The LCLS experiment requires a high signal-to-noise ratio for detection of single 8?keV x-rays, a pixel full-well exceeding 1,000 8?keV x-rays, a frame-rate of 120?Hz, and the ability to handle the arrival of thousands of x-rays per pixel in tens of femtoseconds. Measurements have verified a pixel full-well value of 2,700 8?keV x-rays. Single 8?keV photon detection has been shown with a signal-to-noise ratio of 6$>>6. Line-spread response measurements confirmed charge spreading to be limited to nearest neighbor pixels. Modules still functioned after dosages up to 75?Mrad(Si) at the detector face. Work is proceeding to incorporate an array of modules into a large-area detector.
