Abstract

A counting X-ray detector includes, in a stacked array, a converter material for converting X-ray radiation into electric charges and an electrode. In an embodiment, the electrode is electrically conductively connected to the converter material. The electrode is designed to be at least partly transparent. In an embodiment, the electrode includes: an electrically conductive contact layer, an electrically conductive first intermediate layer, an electrically conductive high voltage layer, a second intermediate layer and an electrically conductive heating layer.

Claims (9)

1. A counting X-ray detector comprising:

a converter material to convert X-ray radiation into electric charges; and

an electrode, the electrode being electrically conductively connected to the converter material and being designed to be at least partly transparent, the electrode including:

an electrically conductive contact layer,

an electrically conductive first intermediate layer, and

an electrically conductive high voltage layer, designed in the form of a mesh.

2. A medical device comprising the counting X-ray detector of claim 1 .

3. The counting X-ray detector of claim 1 , wherein the converter material and the electrode are arranged in a stacked array.

4. A medical device comprising the X-ray detector of claim 1 .
