Abstract
A radiation detector has a number of detector elements disposed following each other in the direction of incoming radiation propagation. The radiation detector is integrally constructed of a semiconductor body having spaced surfaces disposed substantially parallel to the radiation propagation direction. One of the surfaces has a p-conductive region immediately therebelow, and the other surface has an n-conductive region immediately therebelow. At least one of the surfaces is sub-divided by a region extending transversely to the radiation propagation direction which has a lower conductivity than the adjacent regions. This section divides the semiconductor body into different detector elements.
