Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an image sensor and a method of making the image sensor. The image sensor may comprise one or more packages of semiconductor radiation detectors. Each of the one or more packages may comprise a radiation detector that comprises a radiation absorption layer on a first strip of semiconductor wafer and an electronics layer on a second strip of semiconductor wafer. The radiation absorption layer may be continuous along the first strip of semiconductor wafer with no coverage gap. The first strip and the second strip may be longitudinally aligned and bonded together. The radiation detector may be mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) and electrically connected to the PCB close to an edge of the radiation detector.

Claim (Index 15):
The image sensor of  claim 1 , wherein the radiation absorption layer comprises an electrode and the electronics layer comprises an electronics system, the electronics system comprises:\n a first voltage comparator configured to compare a voltage of the electrode to a first threshold; a second voltage comparator configured to compare the voltage to a second threshold; a counter configured to register a number of radiation photons or particles reaching the radiation absorption layer; a controller; wherein the controller is configured to start a time delay from a time at which the first voltage comparator determines that an absolute value of the voltage equals or exceeds an absolute value of the first threshold; wherein the controller is configured to activate the second voltage comparator during the time delay; wherein the controller is configured to cause the number registered by the counter to increase by one, if the second voltage comparator determines that an absolute value of the voltage equals or exceeds an absolute value of the second threshold.
