Abstract
An imaging device includes one detector substrate with a plurality of readout substrates connected thereto. The detector substrate has a bias contact on a first surface and a number of detector cell contacts on a second surface. The readout substrate includes a plurality of readout circuits. The readout substrates are all mechanically connected to the detector substrate with the readout circuits electrically connected to respective detector cell contacts. To allow for areas of the readout substrates with no readout circuits or gaps between readout circuits, conductive tracks lead from selected detector positions to offset readout circuit position.
