ABSTRACT:
An imaging detector is formed from a conversion material and electrodes that are separated by trenches formed in the conversion material. The trenches increase the distance of the conductance path between electrodes or accommodate a grid of electrodes, thereby reducing current leakage between electrodes. In some embodiments, a passivation layer is used to provide improved adhesion of the electrodes to the conversion material or to shield the electrodes from grid electrode structures.
