Abstract

An image acquisition device 30 includes a photoconductor 48 to convert an electromagnetic radiation into electrical signals, a first layer 36 or 37 coupled to the photoconductor 48. The first layer 36 or 37 includes an insulator 54 and a plurality of conductors 56 or 57 embedded in the insulator 54 to conduct the electrical signals. A method of making an image acquisition device 30 includes the step of sandwiching a layer including an insulator and a plurality of conductors embedded in the insulator between a photoconductor layer and an electrode.
