Abstract

A radiation-sensitive detector element has an active area which is formed between two adjoining layer areas of a layer arrangement and within which a conversion of incident electromagnetic radiation into electrical signals takes place. Taking into consideration the penetration depth of the radiation, the position of the active area in relation to the two limiting surfaces is selected in such a way that at least two layer areas for connecting the detector element to an evaluation circuit can be mounted on a surface located opposite the radiation-sensitive surface which is impinged by the incident radiation.
