Claim Text:
1. A method of manufacturing a flat panel image sensor comprising: providing a thin film transistor (TFT) and diode array; applying a conformal insulating layer on a top surface of the TFT and diode array; depositing a planarized dielectric layer on a top surface of the conformal insulating layer; photoexposing the planarized dielectric layer; forming a first via in the planarized dielectric layer and the conformal insulating layer to expose a metalized portion of the TFT and diode array; forming a second via in the planarized dielectric layer and the conformal insulation layer to expose a diode portion of the TFT and diode array; metalizing the first and second vias; and passivating the first and second vias and an upper surface of the planarized dielectric layer.
