Back-illuminated photodiode arrays for X-ray
non-destructive inspection
The S11212 series is a back-illuminated type 16-element photodiode array specifically designed for non-destructive X-ray
inspection. It has improved sensitivity uniformity and smaller photodiode element variations compared to our previous product (S5668 series). The back-illuminated photodiode array is also simple to handle and easily couples to scintillators without
having to worry about wire damage because there are no bonding wires and photosensitive areas on the back side. The
S11212 series can replace the S5668 series since their package size and pin connections are identical.

Feature
S11212 series
01 Back-illuminated type
The S11212 series photodiode arrays have a back-illuminated type structure. This structure uses no fragile easily-broken bonding wires since
the photodiode array output terminals are directly connected by bump bonding to the electrodes on the board. This structure is robust since the
board wiring is laid out within the board. The photodiode surface for coupling the scintillator has no bonding wires or photosensitive areas, so
there is less risk of damaging the photodiode array. The S11212 series is also resistant to effects from temperature cycle and so ensures high
reliability.

* These photodiode arrays as they are do not function as X-ray detectors. Appropriate scintillators or phosphor sheets should be added at
user’s side.
The S11212/S11299 series are also compatible with other scintillators than those
listed in the above table (custom made devices). Please consult our sales office.
Combination examples (for dual energy imaging)
Dual energy imaging is a technique that acquires and superimposes two types of data in a single scan by using X-rays at two different
energy levels (high energy and low energy). Two photodiode arrays with scintillators are used: one at the upper stage and the other at
the lower stage. The upper stage is used for low energy detection, and the lower stage for high energy detection. Arranging two or more
of these devices in a row also forms a line sensor for dual energy imaging.
This combination uses the S11212 series in both upper
and lower stages.
