Summary

This paper describes the development and successful deployment of a fine-pitch cadmium telluride (CdTe) semiconductor detector for hard X-ray imaging and spectroscopy aboard the FOXSI rocket experiment. The detector achieved position resolution of 60 μm and near-100% detection efficiency in the 4–15 keV energy range, substantially improving upon previous silicon-based detectors. The instrument was successfully flown on 11 December 2014 and produced solar images, demonstrating the viability of CdTe detectors for future solar X-ray observations.
