Abstract
The invention concerns a radiation entry window (10) for a radiation detector (2), in particular for a semiconductor drift detector (2), with a flat window element (11), which is at least partially permeable for the radiation to be detected by the radiation detector (2), as well as with a window frame (12), which laterally frames the window element (11), wherein the window frame (12) consists of a semiconductor material and is considerably thicker than the window element (11).

1-16. (canceled)
A radiation entry window for a radiation detector, comprising:
- (a) a flat window element, which is at least partially permeable for radiation to be detected by the radiation detector;
- and
- (b) a window frame, which laterally frames the window element, wherein:
- (i) the window frame consists of a semiconductor material and is thicker than the window element;
- (ii) the window frame is manufactured in planar technology in a semiconductor process;
- and
- (iii) the window frame is connected quasi monolithically with the window element.
