摘要:
A Grid (1) for selective absorption of electromagnetic radiation (2, 3), as used e.g. in CT or NM imaging, comprises a block of a rigid foam material (4), where the foam material is essentially transparent to the electromagnetic radiation (2, 3), a first set of radiation absorbing lamellae (5), and a second set of radiation absorbing lamellae (6), the first and the second set of lamellae are arranged in the block of foam material so that a radiation transmission direction (T) is defined, the first set of lamellae and the second set of lamellae being arranged on top of each other with respect to the transmission direction (T). Such a grid arrangement is rigid due to the use of a carrier material, can be manufactured precisely and, furthermore, two-dimensional grids can be manufactured without the need to physically intersect the lamellae.

The invention relates to a device for the detection and/or transmission of radiation, particularly an X-ray detector 1, that consists of a carrier 10 on which an array of detector modules 20 is arranged. The carrier 10 comprises holes 11 through which a ball at the backside of the detector modules 20 can be inserted in order to fix the modules such that they can still rotate to a certain degree. Due to this freedom, the sensor modules 20 can align themselves during assembly.

The invention relates to semiconductor substrates and methods for producing such semiconductor substrates. In this connection, it is the object of the invention to provide semiconductor substrates which can be produced more cost-effectively and with which a high arrangement density as well as good electrical conductivity and closed surfaces can be achieved. In accordance with the invention, an electrically conductive connection is guided from its front side through the substrate up to the rear side. The electrically conductive connection is completely surrounded from the outside. The insulator is formed by an opening which is filled with material. The inner wall is provided with a dielectric coating and/or filled with an electrically insulating or conductive material. The electrically conductive connection is formed with a further opening which is filled with an electrically conductive material and is arranged in the interior of the insulator. The openings are formed with step-free inner walls aligned orthogonally to the front side or tapering continuously in the direction of the rear side.

It is described a low ohmic Through Wafer Interconnection (TWI) for electronic chips formed on a semiconductor substrate (600). The TWI comprises a first connection extending between a front surface and a back surface of the substrate (600). The first connection (610) comprises a through hole filled with a low ohmic material having a specific resistivity lower than poly silicon. The TWI further comprises a second connection (615) also extending between the front surface and the back surface. The second connection (615) is spatially separated from the first connection (610) by at least a portion of the semiconductor substrate (600). The front surface is provided with a integrated circuit arrangement (620) wherein the first connection (610) is electrically coupled to at least one node of the integrated circuit arrangement (620) without penetrating the integrated circuit arrangement (620). During processing the TWI the through hole may be filled first with a non-metallic material, e.g. poly silicon. After forming integrated components (620) on top of the front surface the substrate (600) may be thinned and the non-metallic material may be substituted with the low ohmic material, which is in particular a metallic material.

摘要:
A grid (1) for selective transmission of electromagnetic radiation and a method for manufacturing such grid is proposed. Therein, the grid (1) comprises a structural element with walls (3) comprising a plurality of particles (19) of a radiation-absorbing material wherein the particles (19) are sintered together such that pores (21) are present between neighbouring particles (19). The pores (21) are at least partially filled with a second solid material. The filling of the pores (21) can be done by inserting the second material in a liquid, preferably molten form into the pores. The second material can be itself radiation-absorbing as well and may help to both, increase the mechanical stability of the grid and to enhance the radiation-absorbing properties.

The invention relates to the production of a scintillator system which comprises an Anti-Scatter-Grid (20) and an arrangement of scintillator cells. In a first processing step, a rectangular pattern of slots (11, 12) is cut into the top surface of a scintillator crystal (10). An Anti-Scatter-Grid (20) is then inserted with one end into said slots and fixed there with a glue. Finally, the top layer (thickness d) is separated from the scintillator crystal (10) yielding the desired scintillator system.
