System, method and apparatus for improving stabilization in solid state x-ray detectors

Certain embodiments of the present invention include a method, system, and apparatus for improved stabilization in solid state x-ray detectors. A method for detecting x-rays includes providing a top layer including an exterior surface and interior surface. The interior surface of the top layer is substantially electrically non-dissipative. The method also includes providing an electrical ground path and an electrically dissipative layer adjacent to the interior surface of the top layer. The electrically dissipative layer is capable of facilitating discharge of static charge from the interior surface of the top layer to the electrical ground path.
