    摘要: An imager includes a substrate, a light-sensitive imaging array on the substrate, a scintillator over the array, and a cover over the scintillator sealed to the substrate. An edge of the array is situated close to an edge of the substrate relative to other edges of the array and substrate. A U-shaped end cap is sealed to and covers an edge of the cover, the edge of the substrate and a portion of each of the cover and substrate inward from their respective edges.

    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 barrier layer disposed between an amorphous silicon photosensor array and the scintillator. The barrier layer includes two strata, the first stratum being silicon oxide disposed over the upper conductive layer of the photosensor array and the second stratum is silicon nitride that is disposed over the first stratum. The photosensor barrier layer has a shape that substantially conforms to the the shape of the underlying upper conductive layer and has a maximum thickness of about 3 microns. The silicon oxide and silicon nitride are deposited in a vapor deposition process at less than about 250.degree. C. using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the silicon source gas.

    摘要: A solid state radiation imager pixel having a thin film transistor (TFT) coupled to a photodiode in which the photodiode and the TFT each comprise a common dielectric layer, that is, a single dielectric layer that extends across the pixel and that has a gate dielectric layer portion and a photodiode body passivation portion. The common dielectric layer comprises a monolithic dielectric material such as silicon nitride or silicon oxide. Further, the bottom electrode of the photosensor body and the gate electrode are each disposed on a common surface of the substrate and comprise the same conductive material, the conductive material having been deposited on the pixel in the same deposition process. The source and drain electrodes and the common contact electrode for the photodiode each comprises the same source/drain metal conductive material, the conductive material having been deposited on the pixel in the same deposition process.
