The transfer channel design can be tailored to minimize interaction with traps, and the faster readout rate may improve the charge transfer performance in the presence of traps One may speculate that future developments may include the fabrication of devices with very small pixels to allow the possibility of observing polarization effects: At energies higher than ~20 keV, the anisotropy of ...
