Abstract: A continuous multi-layer construction for detecting radiation including a polymer layer, a conducting electrode layer affixed to the polymer layer and a particle-in-binder composite layer affixed to the conducting electrode layer, where the composite layer absorbs photons. A process for fabricating continuous multi-layer constructions for detection of radiation including the following steps: depositing a conducting electrode layer onto a polymer film, applying at least one coating layer of a particle-in-binder composite onto the conducting electrode layer, and drying the at least one coating layer of the particle-in-binder composite.

Abstract: A detection system which includes at least one element enabling the detection of high-energy radiation. The element has a multilayered structure including a lower electrode, a first layer including a semiconducting dark current effects reducing substance deposited on the lower electrode, a second layer including a wide band gap semiconducting substance deposited onto the first layer, and an upper electrode deposited onto the second layer. In other embodiments, the positioning of the first and second layers is reversed.
