Abstract
The present approaches relate to the fabrication of non-rectangular (e.g., non-square) light imager panels having comparable active areas to rectangular light imager panels but manufactured using fewer c-Si wafers. Such light imager panels may be generally squircle shaped (e.g., a square or rectangle with one or more rounded corners and may be manufactured using conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers, such as 8″ wafers.
