ABSTRACT:
A large-area CMOS flat X-ray detector is disclosed. The detector includes a plurality of CMOS detector chips, mounted on a substrate with a butt joint. Two alternative embodiments of the CMOS detector chips are described. In the first embodiment, drive elements and read elements are provided on two of four edges of the chip. If the connecting lines are routed to the first edge, this allows an embodiment in which more than four such CMOS detector chips are fitted alongside one another. In one alternative embodiment, all the drives and read operations can be carried out from a first edge so that at least six such CMOS detector chips can be adhesively bonded on the substrate alongside one another.
