Abstract
A method includes obtaining a photosensor substrate () having two opposing major surfaces. One of the two opposing major surfaces includes at least one photosensor row () of at least one photosensor element (), and the obtained photosensor substrate has a thickness equal to or greater than one hundred microns. The method further includes optically coupling a scintillator array () to the photosensor substrate. The scintillator array includes at least one complementary scintillator row () of at least one complementary scintillator element (), and the at least one complementary scintillator row is optically coupled to the at least one photosensor row () and the at least one complementary scintillator element is optically coupled to the at least one photosensor element. The method further includes thinning the photosensor substrate optically coupled to the scintillator producing a thinned photosensor substrate that is optically coupled to the scintillator and that has a thickness on the order of less than one hundred microns.
