Abstract
A three dimensional integrated edgeless pixel detector apparatus can be implemented, which includes a multi-tiered three-dimensional detector having one sensor layer, and two ASIC layers comprising an analog tier and a digital tier configured for x-ray photon time of arrival measurement and imaging. In a preferred embodiment, a hit processor can be implemented in association with a priority encoder and a configuration register and output serializer with mode selection.
