A detector assembly (50) is formed by integrating the electronic
processing circuits on a CMOS wafer by stitching a plurality of reticles
of at least two different types so as to form an integrated circuit
having an array of electronic processing circuits each having a
respective sensor input disposed toward a first surface of the wafer and
accessible from the first surface via a contact formed near an edge of
the integrated circuit. Sensor elements (56) are disposed on the first
surface of the respective integrated circuits in the detector whereby an
exposed surface of the sensor elements forms a common first electrode
towards which incident photons are directed, and an opposite unexposed
surface thereof forms multiple second electrodes of opposite polarity to
the first electrode each in registration with a corresponding sensor
input.
