Abstract

The array comprises an insulating substrate with diode-capacitor pixels disposed over conductors on the substrate. A single mask is used to etch the pixel stacks, and each pixel stack is wider than the conductor beneath. As a result, the mask alignment does not influence the pixel characteristics.
