The Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) abroad the New X-ray Telescope (NeXT) proposed at ISAS/JAXA is a narrow field-of-view Compton telescope, which is expected to achieve unprecedented sensitivity in soft gamma-ray band (0.1-1 MeV) by utilizing Compton kinematics. Compton kinematics also enables polarization measurement which will open new windows to study gamma-ray production mechanism in the universe. CdTe and Si semiconductor technologies are key technologies to realize the SGD. In this presentation, we report EGS4 MC simulation results for expected polarization performance of the SGD.
