Semiconductor detection module, sorting machine and spectrometer

Abstract

In an embodiment, a semiconductor detection module includes at least one semiconductor body and a plurality of read-out electrodes assigned to the at least one semiconductor body. Each read-out electrode is configured to provide a raw detector signal. The semiconductor detection module further comprises a plurality of evaluation units, each evaluation unit configured to process the raw detector signal, which comprises a sequence of signal peaks, by assigning the signal peaks to at least one region of interest. Each evaluation unit is further configured to provide a number of counts in each region of interest as an output signal. Each evaluation unit is assigned to exactly one read-out electrode.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
