Abstract:
1. An indirect x-ray image detector suitable for radiology, comprising an active matrix substrate with scanning and read-out circuits, wherein over said active matrix substrate there is deposited a photoreceptor made of a co-planar thin layer of amorphous selenium based multilayer structure of n-i-p or p-i-n type, wherein the n-layer is a hole blocking layer, the p-layer is an electron blocking layer and the i-layer sandwiched between the n and p layers is an amorphous selenium layer doped with chlorine and arsenic and wherein each of the n and p layers is less than 1 μm in thickness, said photoreceptor being covered with a light-transparent biasing electrode on top of which there is provided an x-ray conversion scintillator.
