Patent ID: 8017902

Claim:
A detector comprising: a first semiconductor substrate comprising a detector element for detecting a radiation or a particle, wherein the detector element extends from a first main surface of the first semiconductor substrate to a second main surface of the first semiconductor substrate and comprises a first electrode at the first main surface and a second electrode at the second main surface, wherein the first main surface and the second main surface are opposite surfaces of the first semiconductor substrate, wherein the first electrode of the detector element is coupled to a first contact of the detector element at the second main surface and the second electrode of the detector element forms a second contact of the detector element at the second main surface; and a second substrate comprising a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is coupled to a first contact at a first main surface of the second substrate and a second contact at the first main surface of the second substrate, wherein an arrangement of the first contact and the second contact of the control circuit on the first main surface of the second substrate corresponds to a mirrored arrangement of the first contact and the second contact of the detector element on the second main surface of the first semiconductor substrate, for providing a direct connection of the first semiconductor substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first contact of the detector element is coupled to the first contact of the control circuit and the second contact of the detector element is coupled to the second contact of the control circuit.
