Patent ID: 8405036

Claim:
A method of forming a digital radiographic detector imaging array, comprising: providing a glass substrate having a top surface; forming a patterned conductive layer on the top surface of the glass substrate; forming an insulating layer on the patterned conductive layer, on a side of the patterned conductive layer opposite the glass substrate; providing more than one single crystal silicon substrates having an internal separation layer proximate a first surface of the single crystal silicon substrate; securing the first surface of the single crystal silicon substrates to the glass substrate, with the first surface of the single crystal silicon substrates corresponding to the insulating layer; separating the single crystal silicon substrates at the internal separation layer to create an exposed surface opposite the first surface of the single crystal silicon substrates; forming, on more than one of the exposed surfaces, an array comprising a plurality of photosensitive elements and readout elements; and forming, over the arrays, scintillation screens to receive radiation at a first wavelength, and generate visible radiation having a second wavelength.
