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 is disclosed that is resistant to degradation due to moisture by either contact pad corrosion, guard ring corrosion or by photodiode leakage. A contact pad of a large area imager is disclosed that is formed into three distinct and electrically connected regions. The resulting structure of the contact pad regions forms reliable contact that is resistant to corrosion damage. Also disclosed is a data line of an imager, or a display, the resistance of which is reduced by patterning an aluminum (Al) line on top of a transistor island structure, with the formed data line preferably being encapsulated. In addition, a guard ring having first and second regions and photosensitive element are disclosed. The second region comprises an electrical contact between ITO and underlying metal and a second tier which acts as a moisture barrier and is preferably disposed at the corner of the guard ring and separated from the contact pads of the imager in such a manner as to minimize corrosion. The photosensitive element has a multitier passivation layer disposed between the top contact layer and an amorphous silicon photosensor island except for a selected contact area on the top surface of the photosensor island, where the top contact layer is in electrical contact with the amorphous silicon material of the photosensor island. The passivation layer includes a first tier inorganic barrier layer which is disposed at least over the sidewalls of the photosensor island.

摘要： A radiation imager includes a photosensor array having a plurality of individually addressable pixels, each pixel having a photosensor island and an associated thin film transistor (TFT) disposed to selectively electrically couple the photosensor island to a predetermined address line. In each pixel a single common passivation layer is disposed over the TFT and the photosensor island such that the passivation layer is adjacent to both the outer surfaces of the TFT and portions of the photosensor island. In a method of fabricating a photosensor array as described above, after depositon of a source-drain metal layer, the layer is left unpatterned until after the photosensor island has been formed. In the formation of the photosensor island the source-drain metal layer serves as an etch stop to protect the TFT. Following formation of the photosensor island, the source-drain metal layer is patterned to form source and drain electrodes and fabrication of the TFT is completed. The single common passivation layer is then deposited over both the TFT and the photosensor island.

摘要： A collimator for use in an imaging system with a radiation point source has a plurality of channels formed therein along longitudinal axes aligned with selected orientation angles that correspond to the direct beam path from the radiation source to the radiation detectors. The collimator comprises a photosensitive material coated with a radiation absorbent material. The cross-sectional shape of the channels corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the radiation detecting area of the detector element adjoining the channel, and the sidewalls of the channel are smooth along their length. The collimator may be fabricated by forming a mask on a photosensitive collimator substrate, exposing the photosensitive substrate to light beams traveling along a path corresponding to a direct path of radiation from the radiation source to the detector elements in the assembled array, etching the collimator substrate to form channels therein along the exposed area of the substrate, and coating the substrate with a radiation absorbent material.
