Patent number: 11504079Abstract: A hybrid radiation imaging sensor includes a low x-ray attenuating substrate, a photoconductor disposed over the substrate, and a scintillator disposed over the photoconductor. By combining direct x-ray conversion to electron-hole pairs in the photo-conductor with indirect conversion of x-rays downstream of the photoconductor within the scintillator, improved x-ray imaging can be attained through an electronic readout located upstream of both the photoconductor and the scintillator without the need for excessive x-ray dosing.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2017Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: The Research Foundation for The State University of New YorkInventors: Wei Zhao, James Scheuermann, Adrian Howansky, Rick Lubinsky, Amirhossein Goldan, Jann Stavro

Publication number: 20210242415Abstract: A sensor including a layer of amorphous selenium (a-Se) and at least one charge blocking layer is formed by depositing the charge blocking layer over a substrate prior to depositing the amorphous selenium, enabling the charge blocking layer to be formed at elevated temperatures. Such process is not limited by the crystallization temperature of a-Se, resulting in the formation of an efficient charge blocking layer, which enables improved signal amplification of the resulting device. The sensor can be fabricated by forming first and second amorphous selenium layers over separate substrates, and then fusing the a-Se layers at a relatively low temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: The Research Foundation for The State University of New YorkInventors: James Scheuermann, Wei Zhao
