Abstract
A solid state radiation detector and fabrication method therefor provide a plurality of modules disposed adjacent one another in a two-dimensional array. Each of the modules includes an array of thin film transistors. A continuous radiation detecting layer, such as a photoconductor layer is disposed over the modules. The radiation detecting layer generates electrical charge representative of a pattern of radiation. The thin film transistors are used to sense the electrical charge on a pixel-by-pixel basis to form a representation of an image. A continuous insulating layer can be disposed between the radiation detecting layer and a continuous conducting layer.
