We are developing a Compton telescope based on high resolution Si and CdTeimaging devices in order to obtain a high sensitivity astrophysical observationin sub-MeV gamma-ray region. In this paper, recent results from the prototypeSi/CdTe semiconductor Compton telescope are reported. The Compton telescopeconsists of a double-sided Si strip detector (DSSD) and CdTe pixel detectors,combined with low noise analog LSI, VA32TA. With this detector, we obtainedCompton reconstructed images and spectra from line gamma-rays ranging from 81keV up to 356 keV. The energy resolution is 3.8 keV and 7.9 keV at 122 keV and356 keV, respectively, and the angular resolution is 9.9 degrees and 5.7degrees at 122 keV and 356 keV, respectively.Comment: 12 pages, 14 figures, submitted to SPIE conference proceedings vol. 5501, "High-Energy Detectors in Astronomy", Glasgow UK, 6/21-6/24 200
