摘要： A dual function detector device operates in either a normal operating mode or in an EMI correction mode to suppress effects of EMI within the detector. The detector device may be a flat panel x-ray detectors used in x-ray imaging systems. The device has a pixel architecture and panel read-out technique that enables real-time, high spatial frequency measurement of noise induced by electromagnetic radiation on a digital x-ray detector. The measurement can be used to calibrate the detector in real-time to attain artifact-free imaging in all environments, including those that contain temporally and spatially changing electromagnetic fields.

摘要： A photodetector for X-ray applications is disclosed incorporating a photodiode design with reduced leakage at each pixel location. The photodiode is of a reduced surface area and has a peripheral edge of reduced length. The length may be minimized by making the photodiode round. The diode is surrounded by a reflective layer that may act as a contact for the diode. Photons are reflected by the reflective layer back towards the reduced area diode to maintain good sensitivity. The reflective/contact layer may form a capacitor with another contact layer by disposing a dielectric layer therebetween, thereby increasing the effective capacitance of the photodiode.

摘要： A pixel structure for a flat panel detector is constructed in which the diode silicon and the FET silicon are simultaneously etched to form isolated structures (array photodiodes, I/O elements, and so on) in which the edges or perimeters of the diode silicon features are self-aligned to the underlying FET SI features. The full, as-deposited, thickness of the FET gate dielectric and (at least) part of the FET silicon layer remains underneath the diode silicon across the entirety of the flat panel detector.

摘要： The present approach involves a radiation detector module with increased quantum efficiency and methods of fabricating the radiation detector module. The module includes a scintillator substrate and a photodetector fabricated on the scintillator substrate. The photodetector includes an anode, active organic elements, and a cathode. The module also includes a pixel element array disposed over the photodetector. During imaging, radiation attenuated by an object to be imaged may propagate through the pixel element array and through the layers of the photodetector to be absorbed by the scintillator which in response emits optical photons. The photodetector may absorb the photons and generate charge with improved quantum efficiency, as the photons may not be obscured by the cathode or other layers of the module. Further, the module may include reflective materials in the cathode and at the pixel element array to direct optical photons towards the active organic elements.
