Method for assembling tiled detectors for ionizing radiation based image detection

A method for assembling detector tiles for an imaging system, comprising the acts of:

• placing a detector tile on a die;
• aligning a bump interconnect between the detector tile and the die;
• and
• electrically connecting the detector tile to the die using the bump interconnect.

A method for assembling detector tiles for an imaging system, comprising the acts of:

• placing a detector tile on a die;
• aligning a bump interconnect between the detector tile and the die;
• and
• electrically connecting the detector tile to the die using the bump interconnect, wherein the act of electrically connecting the detector tile to the die comprises the act of reflow soldering the bump interconnect to a detector element of the detector tile.

A method for assembling detector tiles for an imaging system, comprising the acts of:

• placing a detector tile on a die;
• aligning a bump interconnect between the detector tile and the die;
• electrically connecting the detector tile to the die using the bump interconnect;
• repeating the acts of placing, aligning, and electrically connecting to provide a plurality of detector/die tiles;
• bending a flexible panel to a curved shape;
• attaching the plurality of detector/die tiles to the flexible panel in the curved shape;
• and
• inversely bending the flexible panel to a desired shape to close gaps between the detector/die tiles.
