  • Method of making a solid state electromagnetic radiation detector
    Patent number: 5273910
    Abstract: The present invention provides a large area, high pixel density solid state radiation detector with a real-time and a non-destructive read-out. The solid state detector comprises a plurality of field effect transistors deposited onto a substrate to form an array. A planarization layer is deposited over the array of transistors. An energy sensitive layer is deposited onto the planarization layer. Means is provided for electrically connecting the energy sensitive layer with each transistor of the array. A top electrode layer is deposited onto the energy sensitive layer. The solid state detector also comprises circuitry means for providing electronic read-out from each FET of the array.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 5, 1992
    Date of Patent: December 28, 1993
    Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company
    Inventors: Nang T. Tran, Neil W. Loeding, David V. Nins, deceased
