Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the production process, by a method wherein a photodiode array is produced on a solid scintillator simultaneously in multiple channels and cut off channel by channel to laminate the solid scintillators and collimators alternately. CONSTITUTION:Strip electrode 2 and 3, a transparent electrode 4, amorphous silicon LEDs 5 and 6 are a metal electrode 7 are evaporated on the surface 1a of a solid scintillator 1 with an area for multiple channels. Then, a pattern 8 of the scintillator is drawn on the electrode 7 by a photoresist corresponding to the number of channels and the scintillator is cut off channel by channel. The scintillator 1 cut into pieces is coated with a light reflecting agent, laminated with collimators 10 alternately and bonded together. Moreover, a conducting rubber connector is interposed between the signal fetching electrodes 2 and 3 of the LEDs and a signal fetching electrode on an auxiliary substrate arranged on the side of the laminate body to connect. This can simplify the production process.
