Abstract
The invention relates to a large-area sensor arrangement, notably a flat dynamic X-ray detector (FDXD). The light-sensitive and/or X-ray-sensitive sensors (pixels) of the sensor arrangement are arranged in a planar distribution on a substrate (), thus forming a sensitive layer (). On the top surface of the layer () there is provided a contact point () for each sensor, which contact point is connected to an integrated circuit () via one or more connection layers (). A multi-layer, very compact construction is thus obtained in which the electronic evaluation circuitry () is arranged in a planar fashion and parallel to the sensors (). Preferably, a respective evaluation circuit in the circuit () is associated with each sensor, resulting in very short paths and also in a reduction of noise.
