Detector module, detector, imaging apparatus and method of manufacturing a detector module

Abstract

The present invention relates to a detector module comprising a direct conversion crystal () for converting incident photons into electrical signals, said direct conversion crystal having a cathode metallization () deposited on a first surface and an anode metallization () deposited on a second surface, an integrated circuit () in electrical communication with said direct conversion crystal, said integrated circuit having a smaller width than said direct conversion crystal thus forming a recess () in width direction at a side surface of the integrated circuit, an interposer () arranged between said direct conversion crystal and said integrated circuit for providing electrical communication there between, wherein said interposer is made as separate element that is glued, soldered or bonded with the anode metallization () of said direct conversion crystal facing said integrated circuit, and a multi-lead flex cable () providing a plurality of output paths, said multi-lead flex cable having a first portion (Id) connected with one surface to said direct conversion crystal and with the opposite surface to said integrated circuit () and a second portion (), which is bent with respect to the first portion and is arranged in said recess.
