Description

A method is described for improving signal response of a linear array radiation detector, the detector comprising an insulative substrate supporting elongated closely spaced conductive strips. Each of the strips serves as a detector element. The method comprises the steps of: blowing clean, moisture-free air over the detector elements at a velocity sufficient to dislodge entrapped particles and contaminants; heating the detector elements and insulative substrate to evaporate moisture on the detector; and coating the detector elements and substrate with an electrically neutral moisture resistant material
