Abstract
The present invention relates to a radiation detector, in particular a direct conversion radiation detector. To provide for simple distribution of provided high voltage the radiation detector comprises a plurality of detector modules () arranged adjacent to each other. Each detector module comprises a sensor layer () for converting incident radiation () into electrical charges, a first electrode () deposited on a first surface of the sensor layer facing the incident radiation (), a second electrode () deposited on a second surface of the sensor layer opposite the first surface, a readout electronics () in electrical contact with the second electrode, and a carrier () for carrying the sensor layer and the readout electronics. The radiation detector further comprises an electrically conductive conduction layer () and an anti-scatter arrangement (), which are arranged on top of each other and cover the plurality of detector modules on the side facing the incident radiation ().
