Abstract
The invention relates to a radiation detector (), particularly an X-ray detector, which comprises at least one sensitive layer () for the conversion of incident photons (X) into electrical signals. A two-dimensional array of electrodes () is located on the front side of the sensitive layer (), while its back side carries a counter-electrode (). The size of the electrodes () may vary in radiation direction (y) for adapting the counting workload of the electrodes. Moreover, the position of the electrodes () with respect to the radiation direction (y) provides information about the energy of the detected photons (X).
