Meta structure realizes that steps are as follows:
Step1: detector resets: every detection process for completing primary X-ray, all needs to reset resetting detector, to open down
Primary X-ray beam detection；
Step2:X x ray exposure x: it opens x-ray shielding hood and is exposed, adjust detector orientation, make side of the ray from detector
Detector pixel cellular construction substrate portions are injected at edge, are closed barn door after meeting the time of reconstruction image requirement, are stopped penetrating
The irradiation of line；
Step3: photogenerated charge is collected: the positive electrode that all numbers are 1 being set to high level after X-ray starts irradiation, will be born
Electrode is all set to amplitude negative level identical with the high level, and the collection of photogenerated charge, barn door are realized during exposure
Charge-trapping process terminates after closing；
Step4: photogenerated charge transfer: after X-ray terminates exposure, start the transfer for carrying out photogenerated charge, the light in detector
Raw charge is shifted between adjacent electrode in the form of charge packet under the control of electrode voltage, specific timing: at the t1 moment, number
It is set as high level for 1 positive electrode, charge can be collected into the potential well under the positive electrode during exposure；At the t2 moment, compile
Number it is set as 1/2 times of high level for 1 positive electrode, the positive electrode that number is 2 is set as high level, exists between two electrodes
Potential barrier, the positive electrode that continuous flow direction number is 2 by the charge that the positive electrode that number is 1 in the process is collected；At the t3 moment, compile
Number for 1 positive electrode under electronics will be fully transferred to number be 2 positive electrode under potential well in, the positive electrode that number is 3 is set
It is set to high level；The rest may be inferred, until the photogenerated charge of collection to be successively transferred to the reading circuit positioned at the extreme side；
Step5-1: photogenerated charge packet transaction: being directed to power spectrum resolving, after electric charge transfer reading, conforms in order to obtain
The power spectrum analysis result asked, the photogenerated charge generated in the semiconductor of different depth need to be grouped it is cumulative, charge grouping
Form depends on the absorbing state of the spectral fragmentation situation and ray of X-ray to be resolved in the semiconductors；
Step5-2: photogenerated charge reconstruct grouping: optimal power spectrum analysis result in order to obtain, if the restructural charge grouping side of n kind
Case is grouped scheme according to the n kind being previously set, adjusts charge packet under each electrode on the basis of Step5-1 is to charge processing
Packet State, i.e. the group of charge packet subordinate time changes in each group and each group charge adds up again after the total amount of charge, and deposit respectively
Respective accumulation result is stored up, after all n kind reconfiguration schemes are all carried out, terminates this charge reconstruct packet transaction step；
Step6: power spectrum parsing: scheme is grouped according to n kind and retrodicts by the total amount of each group photogenerated charge and parses X in each section
The power spectrum dampening information of ray selects optimal parsing result reconstruction image.
5. restructural type X-ray energy spectrum detection method as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that segmentation power spectrum to be resolved has
It is several, i.e., several groups the photogenerated charge sequence in semiconductor are combined, the X of corresponding energy section is made by the position of design charge grouping
Ray fully absorbs in the semiconductor thickness.
