Thin film transistors for imaging system and method of making the same

A detector for use in an imaging system comprising:

• a plurality of detector elements, each detector element comprising a thin film transistor comprising:
• a source electrode and a drain electrode formed from a first layer of conductive material;
• a data line formed from a second layer of conductive material;
• and
• a via electrically connecting the data line and the drain electrode.
