ABSTRACT:
The fill factor in a Pt:Si imager is greatly improved by (1) biasing the reflector plate as a field plate to eliminate the need for an N.sup.- guard ring along the edges of the imaging diodes; (2) reconfiguring the meander channel to use a single meander channel for two columns of diodes; and (3) using a self-demultiplexing output bus structure which requires no separate array space for clocking buses. Two different types of dual-sided meander channel are described.
