    • Embodiments of radiographic imaging systems; digital radiography detectors and methods for using the same can monitor and/or control trap occupancy levels in photosensors of radiographic sensors (e.g., DR FPDs). In exemplary radiographic imaging apparatus embodiments, monitoring of trap occupancy or change in trap occupancy of the photosensor can determine whether an imaging array or detector panel has reached a stable operating point. In another embodiment, trap occupancy information can be used (a) to enable a generator (e.g., x-ray source) for a radiographic exposure and/or (b) to adjust to or to maintain a change in trap occupancy level at pre-determined set-point or to adjust to or maintain a change in trap occupancy level within a prescribed range (e.g., using clock signals and bias voltages applied to the photosensor).

    • Embodiments relate to detector imaging arrays with scintillators (e.g., scintillating phosphor screens) mounted to imaging arrays.

    • A vertically-integrated image sensor is proposed with the performance characteristics of single crystal silicon but with the area coverage and cost of arrays fabricated on glass. The image sensor can include a backplane array having readout elements implemented in silicon-on-glass, a frontplane array of photosensitive elements vertically integrated above the backplane, and an interconnect layer disposed between the backplane array and the image sensing array. Since large area silicon-on-glass backplanes are formed by tiling thin single-crystal silicon layers cleaved from a thick silicon wafer side-by-side on large area glass gaps between the tiled silicon backplane would normally result in gaps in the image captured by the array. Therefore, embodiments further propose that the pixel pitch in both horizontal and vertical directions of the frontplane be larger than the pixel pitch of the backplane, with the pixel pitch difference being sufficient that the frontplane bridges the gap between backplane tiles.
    • 提出了一种垂直集成的图像传感器,其具有单晶硅的性能特性,但具有在玻璃上制造的阵列的面积覆盖和成本。 图像传感器可以包括具有实现在玻璃上玻璃上的读出元件的背板阵列,垂直集成在背板上方的感光元件的前平面阵列,以及布置在背板阵列和图像感测阵列之间的互连层。 由于大面积的硅玻璃背板是通过在平铺的硅背板之间的大面积玻璃间隙上平铺从厚硅晶片并排分离的薄的单晶硅层而形成的,通常会导致图像中的间隙 阵列。 因此,实施例进一步提出,前平面的水平和垂直方向上的像素间距大于背板的像素间距,像素间距差足以使前平面桥接背板瓦片之间的间隙。

Embodiments of radiographic detector arrays and methods can reduce photosensor thickness to reduce noise, reduce image lag and/or increase charge capacity. Embodiments can maintain the quantum efficiency of a reduced thickness photosensor.
