Flexible and transparent platform based on oxide transistors for detection and readout of ionizing radiation

Project description

A next-generation ionising radiation detector based on patented oxide transistors

Ionising radiation, high-energy radiation that can remove electrons from atoms or molecules causing them to become ionised, can damage cells and their DNA. Monitoring the dose of ionising radiation in applications from energy and healthcare to civil security is of utmost importance. Flexible and wearable X-ray detectors are an emerging potential solution in next-generation technologies, yet no innovation currently combines portability, high resolution, low cost and complexity and other desired traits. The EU-funded FLETRAD project will develop a flexible and transparent platform addressing all current challenges by exploiting patented oxide transistors as direct ionising radiation detectors.
