PHOTODIODE AND OTHER SENSOR STRUCTURES IN FLAT-PANEL X-RAY IMAGERS AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING TOPOLOGICAL UNIFORMITY OF THE PHOTODIODE AND OTHER SENSOR STRUCTURES IN FLAT-PANEL X-RAY IMAGERS BASED ON THIN-FILM ELECTRONICS
A radiation sensor including a scintillation layer configured to emit photons upon interaction with ionizing radiation and a photodetector including in order a first electrode, a photosensitive layer, and a photon-transmissive second electrode disposed in proximity to the scintillation layer. The photosensitive layer is configured to generate electron-hole pairs upon interaction with a part of the photons. The radiation sensor includes pixel circuitry electrically connected to the first electrode and configured to measure an imaging signal indicative of the electron-hole pairs generated in the photosensitive layer and a planarization layer disposed on the pixel circuitry between the first electrode and the pixel circuitry such that the first electrode is above a plane including the pixel circuitry. A surface of at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode at least partially overlaps the pixel circuitry and has a surface inflection above features of the pixel circuitry. The surface inflection has a radius of curvature greater than one half micron.
