Abstract
A radiation detector for detecting radiation has a semiconductor layer on a substrate, the semiconductor layer being covered by a converter layer so that incoming radiation penetrates the converter layer preceding the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer forms a part of a detector array formed by a number of detector elements. The semiconductor layer is given increased sensitivity by being formed of a polycrystalline semiconductor material.
