Abstract

A method is disclosed for producing a hybrid, incorporable into a sensor board, for a detector module including a plurality of reader units. An embodiment of the method includes positioning the reader units in a stacked construction, each on a common sensor layer. The method further includes, after all of the reader units are positioned, fixing the reader units together on the sensor layer, thereby forming the hybrid. An embodiment of the invention further relates to a detector module for an X-ray detector including a number of sensor boards arranged adjacent to one another on a module carrier. The sensor boards are produced by an embodiment of the method.

Claims (27)

1. A method for producing a hybrid, incorporable into a sensor board, for a detector module including a plurality of reader units, the method comprising:

positioning the plurality of reader units in a stacked construction, each of the plurality of reader units being in direct contact with a common sensor layer; and

fastening, after all of the plurality of reader units are positioned, the plurality of reader units together directly to the common sensor layer using soldering elements, to thereby form the hybrid.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fastening of the reader units onto the common sensor layer comprises reflow soldering by fusion of the soldering elements.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the soldering elements each include a diameter ranging between 50 μm and 250 μm.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

positioning the reader units on the common sensor layer via a mounting tool.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

positioning the reader units on the common sensor layer via a mounting tool.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the soldering elements each include a diameter ranging between 50 μm and 250 μm.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

positioning the reader units on the common sensor layer via a mounting tool.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

positioning the reader units on the common sensor layer via a mounting tool.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hybrid is applied to a carrier in the stacked construction.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hybrid is a multi-hybrid.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: positioning the reader units one after another.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: positioning the reader units at the same time.

13. A detector module for an X-ray detector, comprising:

a plurality of sensor boards arranged adjacent to one another on a module carrier, the plurality of sensor boards comprising

a plurality of reader units in a stacked configuration, each of the plurality of reader units being in direct contact with a common sensor layer; and

a plurality of unfused solder elements directly attached to each of the plurality of reader units and directly to the common sensor layer.

14. The detector module of claim 13 , wherein the soldering elements fasten the reader units to the common sensor layer.

15. The detector module of claim 14 , wherein the soldering elements each include a diameter ranging between 50 μm and 250 μm.

16. The detector module of claim 13 , wherein the hybrid is a multi-hybrid.

17. The detector module of claim 13 , wherein the reader units are positioned one after another.

18. The detector module of claim 13 , wherein each of the solder elements comprises a temperature of between about 110 and 180 degrees Celsius.
