  • Radiation detector and method for manufacturing a radiation detector
    Patent number: 10900841
    Abstract: A radiation detector includes a substrate and a membrane suspended above the substrate by spacers, wherein the spacers electrically contact a radiation sensor formed in the membrane and thermally insulate the membrane from the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 5, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2021
    Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.
    Inventors: Dirk Weiler, Kai-Marcel Muckensturm, Frank Hochschulz
  • Radiation detector, array of radiation detectors and method for manufacturing a radiation detector
    Patent number: 9829383
    Abstract: A radiation detector with a substrate and a membrane, which is suspended above the substrate by a spacer is described, wherein the spacer thermally insulates a radiation sensor, which is formed in the membrane, from the substrate. Further, the spacer includes a first layer, which is electrically conducting and contacts a first pole of the radiation sensor and of the substrate, and a second layer, which is electrically conducting and electrically insulated from the first electrically conductive layer and contacts a second pole of the radiation sensor and of the substrate, wherein the second pole differs in polarity from the first pole.
