Pillar Based Amorphous and Polycrystalline Photoconductors for X-ray Image Sensors

摘要

Sensors and devices for detecting X-rays are described herein. A device for detecting X-rays may include a first electrode, a second electrode, a microstructure, and an insulating photon absorbing material. The microstructure is configured to provide an electrical path between the first electrode and the second electrode such that at least a portion of charge carriers generated in the photon absorbing material by incident X-ray are collected in a direction different from the direction of the incident X-ray.
