Abstract:
A method for producing a plurality of one-dimensional detector arrays (70) for detecting electromagnetic radiation,a) wherein a layer composite (1) is produced, which has a sensor layer (3) with a material (M) sensitive to the electromagnetic radiation, and a carrier layer (5), b) whereinâ€”in order to subdivide the sensor layer (3) into individual elements (E11, E12, . . . E1m, E21, . . . Enm) isolated from one anotherâ€”separating spaces (7) are introduced into the sensor layer (3) proceeding from that side of the layer composite (1) which is opposite to the carrier layer (5), by material (M) being removed, in such a way as to form a structure of elements E11, E12, . . . E1m, E21, . . . Enm) arranged in a matrix-like manner and c) wherein the structure of elements (E11, E12, . . . E1m, E21, . . . Enm) arranged in a matrix-like manner is broken down into row portions (52, 53, . . . , 63) or into column portions thus forming a plurality of one-dimensional detector arrays (70), wherein the row portions (52, 53, . . . , 63) or the column portions are formed by the structure of elements (E11, E12, . . . E1m, E21, . . . Enm) arranged in a matrix-like manner being divided along a plurality of mutually parallel first separating planes (31, 33, 35) which run only through the separating spaces (7), and a plurality of mutually parallel second separating planes (41, 43, 45) which in each case run between two first separating planes (31, 33, 35) and in each case separate a row (i) or a column (j) into a plurality of parallel row portions (52, 53, . . . , 63) or column portions, respectively.
