A radiation-sensitive transducer with a doped semiconductor sensor is to be constructed on a mounting plate such that it does not deform during temperature fluctuations. On the back side of the mounting plate, i.e., the side opposite the side on which the semiconductor sensor is mounted, an additional element having the same dimensions as the semiconductor sensor is attached opposite the semiconductor sensor. The additional element is composed of the same semiconductor material as of the semiconductor sensor, but is undoped. Due to the corresponding size and material of the semiconductor sensor and the additional element, they respectively produce equal but opposite forces acting on the mounting plate during temperature fluctuations, so no deformation occurs.
