Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors are high sensitivity and highresolution devices for hard X-ray imaging and spectroscopic studies. The newseries of CZT detector modules (OMS40G256) manufactured by Orbotech MedicalSolutions (OMS), Israel, are used in the RT-2/CZT payload onboard theCORONAS-PHOTON satellite. The CZT detectors, sensitive in the energy range of20 keV to 150 keV, are used to image solar flares in hard X-rays. Since thesemodules are essentially manufactured for commercial applications, we havecarried out a series of comprehensive tests on these modules so that they canbe confidently used in space-borne systems. These tests lead us to select thebest three pieces of the 'Gold' modules for the RT-2/CZT payload. This paperpresents the characterization of CZT modules and the criteria followed forselecting the ones for the RT-2/CZT payload. The RT-2/CZT payload carries,along with three CZT modules, a high spatial resolution CMOS detector for highresolution imaging of transient X-ray events. Therefore, we discuss thecharacterization of the CMOS detector as well.
