New materials for large-area position-sensitive detectors

Abstract Large-area thin-film position-sensitive detectors (TFPSDs) using the hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) technology are presented. The detection accuracy of these devices (lengths of about 80 mm) is better than ± 0.5% of the value of the full scale of the sensor, the spatial resolution is better than ±20 μm, the non-linearities measured are below ±2% and the frequency response is in the range of a few kilohertz, compatible with the sampling frequency of most electromechanical assembling/control systems. The obtained results are quite promising regarding the application of these sensors to a wide variety of optical inspection systems.
