摘要： A solid-state imager with back-side irradiation. The present invention provides a solid-state imager that includes a substantially radiation transparent substrate adapted to receive incident radiation. The radiation travels through the substrate and a pixelated array of photosensitive elements to a scintillator material, which absorbs the radiation. The pixelated array of photosensitive elements receives light photons and measures the amount of light generated by radiation interactions with the scintillator material. With this imager, there is less spreading and blurring and thus a better quality image. In another embodiment, there is a substantially transparent material disposed between the pixelated array of photosensitive elements and the scintillator material. The substantially transparent material absorbs and substantially blocks electrons from entering the active regions of the pixelated array of photosensitive elements. This enables the imager to perform for a longer period of time according to its specifications.

摘要： A light block material disposed over the photosensitive region of a switching device (e.g., TFT) of a radiation imager is disclosed. The light block material prevents optical photons emitted from a scintillator from passing into the switching device and being absorbed. Cross-talk and noise in the imager are thereby reduced. Also, non-linear pixel response and spurious signals passing to readout electronics are avoided. Optionally, opaque caps comprising the same light block material may be included in the imager structure. The caps cover contact vias filled with a common electrode and located in the contact finger region of the imager. The integrity of the filled vias is thereby maintained during subsequent processing. Also disclosed is a radiation imager containing these structures.

摘要： A radiation imager includes a photosensor array that is coupled to a scintillator so as to detect optical photons generated when incident radiation is absorbed in the scintillator. The imager includes an optical crosstalk attenuator that is optically coupled to a first surface of the scintillator (that is, the surface opposite the photosensor). The optical crosstalk attenuator includes an optical absorption material that is disposed so as to inhibit reflection of optical photons incident on the scintillator first surface back into the scintillator along selected crosstalk reflection paths. The crosstalk reflection paths are those paths oriented such that optical photons passing along such paths would be incident upon photosensor array pixels that are outside of a selected focal area corresponding to the absorption point in the scintillator. The imager further may include an optical screen layer that is optically coupled to the scintillator second surface so as to be disposed between the scintillator and the photosensor array. The optical screen layer is made of a substantially transparent material selected to have a critical index of refraction so as to cause preferential reflection of optical photons that are incident on the screen layer to reduce optical crosstalk.

摘要： An imager array includes a substrate with a plurality of superimposed layers of electrically conductive and active components. Sets of scan and data lines are electrically insulated from one another and also from a common electrode and active array components by dielectric material. Protection of the active components against static charge potential includes resistive means between the common electrode and a ground ring conductor around the array elements and in particular a thin film transistor circuit with a parallel pair of opposite polarity diode connected field effect transistors to safely drain the static charge during subsequent fabrication, test and standby period of the imager, while remaining in circuit during imager operation. Further electrostatic charge protection is provided to the array by an protective apparatus adapted to support the radiation imager while electrically contacting its ground ring to facilitate handling and processing while protecting against electrostatic charge damage during fabrication and testing, and enabling the positioning and bonding of the flexible external connections to the contact pads of the imager. Provision is made to enable heat and pressure for thermode bonding through the fixture to the contact pads while the imager is secured within the fixture.
