Patent ID: 11740368

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a photon counting detector comprising a plurality of detector tiles. Each detector tile comprises a sensor material layer (20), an integrated circuit (30), an input/output connection or flex (50), a high voltage electrode or foil (60), and an anti scatter grid (10). The input/output connection or flex is connected to the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit is configured to readout signals from the sensor material layer. The anti scatter grid is positioned adjacent to a surface of the sensor material layer. The high voltage electrode or foil extends across the surface of the sensor material layer and is configured to provide a bias voltage to the surface of the sensor material layer. The high voltage electrode or foil comprises at least one tail section (70). Relating to the photon counting detector and the plurality of detector tiles, the high voltage electrode or foil of a first detector tile is configured to make an electrical connection with the high voltage electrode or foil of an adjacent detector tile via one or more tail sections of the at least one tail section of the first detector tile and/or via one or more tail sections of the at least one tail section of the adjacent detector tile.
