More Information
Summary:Imaging panels and imaging systems that may employ use organic photodiodes or other continuous sensors are discussed. The detector panels discussed may have a non-pixelated organic photodiode disposed above a pixelated backplane. In some embodiments, the sensor panels may also include dielectric structures that create buried vias in the region of contact between the organic photodiode and the thin film transistor (TFT) backplane. In some embodiments, the sensor panels may include dielectric structures that separate neighboring pixels. The dielectric structures may decrease thickness inhomogeneity in active areas of the organic photodiode. Detector panels discussed herein may have decreased sensing lag and current leakage, and improved reliability. Methods for formation of organic photodiodes and of dielectric structures are also discussed.
