Key Points

This research aims to design an efficient trapezoidal boron-10 converter geometry for solid-state neutron detectors to improve practicality and performance.
Proposed a novel three-dimensional trapezoidal 10 B converter geometry and analyzed using GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulations.
Conducted a systematic parametric study varying trapezoidal dimensions, 10 B isotopic enrichment, and low-level discriminator threshold.
Evaluated neutron capture efficiency and revealed critical geometry parameters affecting performance.
Achieved a maximum detection efficiency of 13.6% with an 8.4 μm trapezoidal width and 100% enriched 10 B at an LLD of 300 keV.
Detected efficiency increases with boron-10 enrichment; efficiency decreases with higher LLD values.
Energy-deposition spectra indicated improved peak definition and increased event statistics correlated with geometry changes.
