초록

디지털 X-선 촬영 장치에 응용되는 MSGC형 검출기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 기판의 재질은 실리콘기판과 유리기판을 사용하였으며, 기판위에 증착된 전극물질은 포토리소그래피 공정을 이용하였으며, 크롬을 전극의 재료를 이용하였다. 양전극의 폭은 $10{\mu}m$, 음전극의 폭은 $290{\mu}m$로 각각 제작하였다. 양전극과 음전극 사이의 거리는 $100{\mu}m$ 이고, 검출기의 유효영역은 $50{\times}50mm^2$로 설계하였다. 그리고 양전극의 수는 80개로 하였고, 양전극의 전압이 600 Volt 이상 인가한 경우 양전극과 음전극 부분이 방전되어 끊어진 현상을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 검출기체인 Ar(90%) + $CH_4$(10%) 기체 하에서 X-선관의 전압은 42 kV, 최대전류 1 mA까지 인가하여 연구를 수행하였다.

A microstrip gas chamber (MSGC), applied to digital radiography system, was designed and constructed. The microstrip electrodes were fabricated with Chrome(Cr.). by photolithography process on Silicon(Si) wafer and glass substrate. The width of anode and cathode electrodes was $10{\mu}m$, and $290{\mu}m$, respectively. The distance of the electrodes was $100{\mu}m$, and the active area was $50{\times}50mm^2$. And the number of anode was 80. The microstrip electrodes were damaged when discharges occurred over the 600 V of anode voltage. As the result of experiments. It detected the typical output signals of the pulse width, 20 ns, under the condition that the detecting gas was Ar(90%) + $CH_4$(10%), X-ray tube voltage was 42 kV, and tube current was 1 mA.
