Figure 6.

(a) X-ray photons are incident on a central reference pixel C and are absorbed in the photoconductor over C. The x-ray generated electrons and holes drift respectively towards positive and negative electrodes, the latter being pixellated. There is no trapping and recombination and all the generated charges are collected. (b) Holes are trapped. These trapped charges result in a loss of sensitivity and resolution.
