  • Low-interference sensor head for a radiation detector, as well as a radiation detector which contains this low-interference sensor head
    Patent number: 9299532
    Abstract: The invention relates to a low interference sensor head for a radiation detector and a radiation detector containing said low interference sensor head. Preferably, the radiation detector according to the invention is an X-ray detector. The invention further relates to the use of the low interference sensor head or the radiation detector, in particular of the X-ray detector for radiation analysis, in particular for (energy dispersive) X-ray analysis in microscopy using optics for charged particles.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 29, 2016
    Assignee: Bruker Nano GmbH
    Inventors: Meiken Falke, Robert Kroemer
  • Sensor head for an x-ray detector and x-ray detector containing said sensor head
    Patent number: 8558175
    Abstract: The invention relates to a reduced sensor head (30) for an X-ray detector (74), comprising a printed circuit board (10) having an end face (12) and lateral faces (14), a sensor chip (32) which is arranged on the end face (12) of the printed circuit board (10) and which is sensitive to X-ray radiation (72), a plurality of signal and control connections (40), a plurality of bonding islands (16) which are arranged on the printed circuit board (10) so as to make contact and which are electrically conductively connected to the signal and control connections (40) by means of at least one respective bonding wire (46), wherein the bonding islands (16) are arranged on the lateral faces (14) of the printed circuit board (10).
