1. A conformal electromagnetic (EM) detector, the detector comprising:
a conformal electrically insulating layer configured to conform to and he disposed over at least part of a component; a first conformal electrode layer disposed over said conformal electrically insulating layer; a conformal semiconductor layer disposed over said first conformal electrode layer; a second conformal electrode layer disposed over said conformal semiconductor layer; and a capping layer disposed on top of said second conformal electrode layer, wherein the capping layer provides at least one of mechanical rigidity, corrosion resistance, waterproofing, and temperature control; wherein at least one electrode layer of the first conformal electrode layer and the second conformal electrode layer is divided into pixel regions and where the at least one electrode layer has at least one connection or a connection point for read-out of EM detection data.
