Abstract
A quantum detector array is provided. The array includes a semiconductor substrate and an epitaxial layer on the semiconductor substrate. The epitaxial layer includes a plurality of binary quantum sensor elements operable in breakdown mode to generate signals, logic elements, and a digital processing circuit. The binary quantum sensor elements each have a radiation-sensitive drift region and amplification region with a pn junction for detecting radiation from a radiation-emission source. The logic elements are each electrically interconnected to a corresponding binary sensor element of the plurality of binary quantum sensor elements for resetting the corresponding binary sensor element, generating digital information based on the signals received from the corresponding binary sensor element, and outputting the digital information. The digital processing circuit carries out digital processing of logic and time signals from the binary sensor elements.
