Photon detector, method for producing a photon detector, and x-ray apparatus

A photon detector, comprising:

• at least one sensor element, formed by a semiconductor material and sensitive to incident radiation, the at least one sensor element forming a pixel array and including a number of sensor pixels;
• and
• a detector circuit, situated after the at least one sensor element in a direction of incident radiation, to detect charge carriers generated in the semiconductor material of the sensor element as a result of radiation, wherein the detector circuit includes an integrated circuit including a number of detector pixels, the number of detector pixels being in signal communication contact with the number of sensor pixels,
• wherein a surface dimension of the integrated circuit is relatively less than a surface dimension of the sensor element by more than one pixel width of the number of sensor pixels,
• wherein the detector circuit includes
• an enclosure, surrounding the integrated circuit, the integrated circuit being embedded in the enclosure and a pixel face being formed on the enclosure, the pixel face facing the at least one sensor element, and
• a contact redistribution layer, contact pads being formed in the contact redistribution layer for signal-communicatively connecting respective detector pixels, of the number of detector pixels, to correspondingly assigned sensor pixels of the number of sensor pixels, and conductor tracks being formed in the contact redistribution layer, for connecting the contact pads to the number of detector pixels of the integrated circuit.
