201239898 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明之實施形態係關於具備將放射線轉換成可視光之 螢光體層之閃爍器面板、及使用該閃爍器面板之放射線檢 測器。 【先前技術】 先前’醫療用或工業用非破壞檢查等之數位放射線檢測 器,主流為如電腦放射攝影(以下記為「CR」)或平面檢測 器(以下記為「FPD」)之將入射線X射線在螢光體層轉換成 可視光之方式。 作為螢光體層’在大部份之FPD中使用添加鉈之碘化鉋 (Csl . T1),又,在一部分之CR裝置中使用添加銪之溴化 鉋(CsBr: Eu)。該等材料皆因以真空蒸鍍法易成柱狀結晶 之理由而使用。 例如,使用Csl . T1之閃爍器面板,基本為於具有放射 線透射性之玻璃等之支持基板上塗佈反射膜,且於其上成 膜螢光體層之Csl : T1之構成。 通過被攝體自X射線源入射之X射線,在如此之構成之 閃爍器面板中轉換成可視光《若使用乂射線光子進行說 明,則光子在螢光體層内之發光點轉換成可視光。光自發 光點與入射光子之向量毫無關係地發散至八方。此處,由 於螢光體層為粗3〜10 μηι之支柱構造,故藉由支柱間之隙 縫與CsI(CsI之折射率=1.8)之折射率之差,某_比例之發 光光子通過支柱内而來到閃爍器面板之表面。關於發散至 161746.doc 201239898 比鄰近之支柱遠之光,橫切多數之支柱間之光學界面而發 散至螢光體層之面方向之概率較低,若到達某一界面則最 終封閉於該支柱内,而來到閃爍器面板之表面。基於如以 上般之作用,設為支柱構造之螢光體層,不會使發光那麼 滲漏,而將發光傳遞至此後之裝置(例如,FPD中具有包含 光電二極體之複數個受光面之TFT基板),故可獲得解析度 特性比較高之閃爍器層。 該支柱間之隙縫部分之比率,可以螢光體層之成膜條件 而加以變^於賴條件中,有基板溫度、壓力、蒸鑛速 度等,藉由改變該等參數’可將填充率(相對於螢光體層 全體之支柱部分之比例)劃分為約自7〇%至1 〇〇%。 又,反射膜具有使朝向支持基板之方向之發光光暫且返 回至螢光體層之表面而提高閃爍器面板之感度之功能。 螢光體層之成膜結束後,於支持基板上進而塗佈防濕 膜,但該防濕膜會在某種程度上侵入成上述之支柱構造之 螢光體層之隙縫部分。作為防濕膜之材料,使用聚對二甲 苯樹脂等之有機CVD膜。有機CVD膜具有可沿隨著支柱構 造之凹凸構造而以大致均一之膜厚塗佈之優點。 作為使用螢光體層之FPD之一例,有於複數個受光元件 排列成1維或2維狀之影像感應器上貼合閃爍器面板之形 態。成如此之構造之FPD之解析度.感度特性,會受到閃爍 器面板之特性之影響。即,上述之CsI之支柱構造與反射 膜之功忐左右著FPD之特性(例如日本特開2〇06_58〇99號公 報(第4、5頁,圖3)) » 161746.doc 201239898 先前之閃爍器面板,如上述般以真空蒸鍍法與CVD法之 比較簡便之方法,可成為兼具解析度特性與防濕特性之特 性。 但,若製作製造條件不同之閃爍器面板而進行加濕試 驗,則於防濕特性中可見差異。例如,比較填充率79%、 具有膜厚350 μηι之螢光體層之閃爍器面板、與填充率 88%、具有膜厚500 μιΏ之螢光體層之閃爍器面板之情形, ’·’£ 60 C 80 /〇-1 〇〇〇小時放置時之3 Lp/mm下之圖像解析度 (CTF: C0ntrast Transfer Functi〇n)之值,分別與加濕前之 103%、3 1 %產生較大之差異。 原本,有機防濕膜之水分透過率,一般為(每日數g/m2 左右),並非完全切斷水蒸氣。若在加濕狀態下放置閃爍 器面板,則透過防濕膜之水蒸氣會浸入螢光體層,且螢光 體層因水分而成為膨潤狀態。此時,有螢光體層鄰接之支 柱發生合體.粗大化,而導致產生解析度特性降低之情 形。 根據本閃爍器面板之實施形態,在具備包含複數個柱狀 結晶,且將放射線轉換成可視光之螢光體層、支撐上述螢 光體層之基板、及包覆上述螢光體層與上述基板之至少一 部分之有機防濕膜之閃爍器面板中,上述有機防濕膜填充 互相鄰接之上述柱狀結晶彼此之隙縫,而到達至上述基 板。 【實施方式】 以下,參照圖式而說明本發明之實施形態。 161746.doc 201239898 (閃爍器面板之構造) 圖1係顯示本發明之一實施形態之閃爍器面板之全體構 造。 閃爍器面板1 0 ’於正反兩面上分別黏貼PET(聚對苯二甲 酸乙二酯)薄片而形成反射膜2a、2b之CFRP(碳纖維強化塑 膠)製基板1之表側表面上設置有螢光體層3,進而以覆蓋 該螢光體層3之表面及基板丨之側面之方式而形成有機防濕 膜4。 又’螢光體層3包含複數個柱狀結晶5,有機防濕膜4侵 入鄰接之柱狀結晶5之隙縫。該侵入程度,可以有機防濕

invention relates to a scintillator panel including a phosphor layer that converts radiation into visible light, and a radiation detector using the scintillator panel. [Prior Art] Previously, the digital radiation detector for medical or industrial non-destructive inspection, such as computer radiography (hereinafter referred to as "CR") or planar detector (hereinafter referred to as "FPD"), will be incident. The way in which the line X-rays are converted into visible light in the phosphor layer. As the phosphor layer, a bismuth iodide planer (Csl. T1) was used for most of the FPD, and a bismuth bromide planer (CsBr: Eu) was used for a part of the CR device. These materials are all used for reasons of easy columnar crystallization by vacuum evaporation. For example, a scintillator panel using Csl. T1 is basically a structure in which a reflective film is coated on a support substrate having a radiation-transmissive glass or the like, and a phosphor layer of Csl : T1 is formed thereon. The X-ray incident from the X-ray source of the subject is converted into visible light in the scintillator panel thus constructed. If the ray-ray photon is used, the light-emitting point of the photon in the phosphor layer is converted into visible light. The spontaneous light spot is divergent to the square of the incident photon. Here, since the phosphor layer is a pillar structure having a thickness of 3 to 10 μm, the luminescence photon of a certain ratio passes through the pillar by the difference between the refractive index of the slit between the pillars and the refractive index of CsI (the refractive index of CsI = 1.8). Come to the surface of the scintillator panel. About diverging to 161746.doc 201239898 The light farther than the adjacent pillar, the optical interface between the majority of the pillars is less likely to diverge to the surface of the phosphor layer, and if it reaches an interface, it is finally enclosed in the pillar. And come to the surface of the scintillator panel. Based on the above-described action, the phosphor layer of the pillar structure is not leaked by the light, and the light is transmitted to the subsequent device (for example, the TFT having the plurality of light-receiving surfaces including the photodiode in the FPD) Since the substrate is used, a scintillator layer having a relatively high resolution characteristic can be obtained. The ratio of the slit portion between the pillars can be changed by the film forming conditions of the phosphor layer, and the substrate temperature, pressure, vaporization speed, etc. can be changed by changing the parameters. The proportion of the pillar portion of the entire phosphor layer is divided into approximately from 7〇% to 1%. Further, the reflective film has a function of temporarily returning the light emitted in the direction of the support substrate to the surface of the phosphor layer to improve the sensitivity of the scintillator panel. After the film formation of the phosphor layer is completed, the moisture-proof film is further applied onto the support substrate, but the moisture-proof film intrudes into the slit portion of the phosphor layer of the above-described pillar structure to some extent. As the material of the moisture-proof film, an organic CVD film such as a polyparaphenylene resin is used. The organic CVD film has an advantage of being coatable at a substantially uniform film thickness along the uneven structure of the pillar structure. As an example of the FPD using the phosphor layer, the image sensor having a plurality of light receiving elements arranged in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional shape is attached to the scintillator panel. The resolution and sensitivity characteristics of the FPD thus constructed are affected by the characteristics of the scintillator panel. In other words, the above-mentioned CsI pillar structure and the reflection film function are related to the characteristics of the FPD (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 06-58〇99 (pages 4, 5, Fig. 3)) » 161746.doc 201239898 Previous flicker As described above, the panel is simpler than the vacuum deposition method and the CVD method, and has characteristics of both resolution characteristics and moisture resistance. However, if a scintillator panel having different manufacturing conditions is produced and a humidification test is performed, a difference can be seen in the moisture resistance characteristics. For example, comparing a scintillator panel having a filling rate of 79%, a phosphor layer having a film thickness of 350 μm, and a scintillator panel having a filling rate of 88% and a phosphor layer having a film thickness of 500 μm, '·' £ 60 C The value of image resolution (CTF: C0ntrast Transfer Functi〇n) at 3 Lp/mm at 80 〇-1 〇〇〇 hours is larger than 103% and 31% before humidification, respectively. difference. Originally, the moisture permeability of the organic moisture-proof film was generally (about several g/m2 per day), and the water vapor was not completely cut off. When the scintillator panel is placed in a humidified state, water vapor that has passed through the moisture-proof film is immersed in the phosphor layer, and the phosphor layer is swollen due to moisture. At this time, the pillars adjacent to the phosphor layer are combined and coarsened, resulting in a decrease in resolution characteristics. According to an embodiment of the scintillator panel, a phosphor layer including a plurality of columnar crystals and converting radiation into visible light, a substrate supporting the phosphor layer, and at least the phosphor layer and the substrate are coated In the scintillator panel of the organic moisture-proof film, the organic moisture-proof film fills the slits of the columnar crystals adjacent to each other and reaches the substrate. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 161746.doc 201239898 (Structure of Scintillator Panel) Fig. 1 is a view showing the overall configuration of a scintillator panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. The scintillator panel 10 0 is provided with fluorescent light on the front surface of the CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) substrate 1 on which the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) sheet is adhered to the front and back surfaces to form the reflective films 2a and 2b. The bulk layer 3 further forms the organic moisture proof film 4 so as to cover the surface of the phosphor layer 3 and the side surface of the substrate stack. Further, the phosphor layer 3 contains a plurality of columnar crystals 5, and the organic moisture-proof film 4 invades the slits of the adjacent columnar crystals 5. The degree of intrusion can be evaluated by the organic moisture-proof film intrusion depth 11 and the coating residual depth 12. (Manufacturing Method of Scintillator Panel) Next, a method of manufacturing the scintillator panel 1 will be described. First, the CFRP substrate 1 on which the PET sheets were adhered on both sides of the front and back sides to form the reflection films 2a and 2b was washed. Then, the substrate 1 and the crucible containing the phosphor material are housed in a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus in a state of being opposed to each other, and the pressure in the apparatus, the temperature of the substrate i, the temperature of the substrate, and the like are adjusted to appropriate values. The vacuum evaporation is performed until the phosphor layer 3 adhering to the substrate 1 is in a desired state. Further, 'the substrate 1 forming the phosphor layer 3 is taken out from the vacuum evaporation apparatus and transferred to the CVD apparatus' and the radical dissociated gas generated by heating the dimer-p-quinone benzene raw material to 650 ° C is sent In the CVD apparatus, the organic moisture-proof film 4 is formed on the surface of the substrate 丄 and the phosphor layer 3 to form the scintillator panel 10. 161746.doc 201239898 (radiation detector) The above-described scintillator panel 10 is attached to an image sensor in which a plurality of photodiode light-receiving elements are arranged in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional manner on a glass substrate. Make a radiation detector. (Resolution characteristic) In order to study the resolution characteristics of the scintillator panel 10, a plurality of phosphor layers 3 shown in Fig. j are set to Csl: T1, and the filling ratio and film thickness of the phosphor layer 3 are made. A sample of change. That is, the step of preparing the phosphor layer 3 having a filling ratio of 86 to 90% (process a), the step of preparing the phosphor layer 3 having a filling ratio of 77 to 81% (process B), and the filling rate A three-step process of filling (71 to 75%) of the phosphor layer 3 (process C) was prepared, and samples having different filling rates were prepared. The filling rate of the phosphor layer 3 can be achieved by a substrate temperature (1 〇〇 to 250 ° C) and a pressure (10 _ 5 〜 1 Pa) when the csi phosphor layer is formed on the substrate by vacuum evaporation. The film speed (1 to 50 μm/min), the substrate rotation speed (1 to 20 rpm), and the shape and size of the structure in the other device are selected as appropriate values, and are set to desired values. Specifically, in the process A, the substrate temperature 200 is set. (:, pressure 0.4 Pa, film formation speed 1 μηι/min' in process b, substrate temperature i6〇°c, pressure 1〇3 Pa, film formation speed 1 μηι/min, in process c, substrate temperature 140 C , pressure 1 〇 _3 Pa, film formation speed 2 μηι / min. The substrate rotation speed is set to 10 rpm. Also, in the process B, C, the position of the crucible is farther away than the process A. In the film thickness of the phosphor layer 3, three types of 200, 350, and 500 μm 161746.doc 201239898 are prepared. Fig. 2 shows a sample of seven types of film thickness and filling rate with respect to the phosphor layer 3, which is continuously humidified. The change in resolution (CTF) characteristics up to 6 〇t · 80% -10 0 0. Here, as the resolution characteristic, the CTF value at 3 Lp/mm is displayed. The resolution of the sample with a film thickness of 500 μm is significantly reduced, and the resolution of the sample of the process Β_film thickness 5〇〇μηΐ2 is also seen. Figure 3 shows the resolution after 1 hour ( The residual rate of CTF). According to the results of Fig. 3, if the same film thickness is 50 〇μπι, the filling rate is obtained. The lower the residual rate is, the more the resolution is reduced in the sample with a film thickness of 500 μm in the same process (7) and C) ', and the resolution of the sample of 3 50 μm is hardly reduced. In order to find a rule for summarizing these phenomena, the fracture surface of the completed phosphor layer is observed. As a result, as shown in Fig. 1, it was found that the depth of invasion of the slit of the columnar crystal 5 in which the organic moisture-proof film 4 invaded the phosphor layer 3 was different depending on the sample. That is, it is known that the intrusion depth u of the process A (fill rate 88%) is about 200 μm, the process B (filling rate 79%) is about 350 μm, and the process c (filling rate 73%) is about 500 μπι » As shown in Fig. 4, if the curve is drawn by plotting the data on the graph in a quadratic manner, it is: (intrusion depth (μπι)) = 0·5556χ (filling rate (%)) 2_1〇9 44χ (filling Rate) + 5528.9...... (Formula 1). In addition, when the depth of penetration 11 is observed, when the fracture surface of the phosphor layer 3 is observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope), when the film of the phosphor layer 3 is cracked in the thickness direction, it is organically placed on both sides. The moisture-proof film 4 is stretched together with both sides to produce: the presence or absence of the chord-like residue, and the surface side of the phosphor layer 3 is determined to be in the depth direction, and the residue of the string shape is determined to disappear. The depth of the point is the intrusion depth U. When the film thickness of the phosphor layer 3 is larger than the intrusion depth u, the coating residual depth 12 is applied at a coating residual depth of 12 (film thickness (four) of the phosphor layer 3) (invasion depth 11 (μιη)). Fig. 5 is a graph showing the plot resolution (CTF) residual rate with respect to the coating residual depth 12. From the results shown in Fig. 5, it is known that if the coating residual depth 12 exceeds 〇, a decrease in CTF is caused, and if it is G or less, the decrease in CTF does not occur. In the case where the pillar structure is changed to the right, it is considered that the portion of the pillar coated with the organic wet film 4 is swollen by the pillars, and the organic moisture proof membrane 4 coated in the pillar shape is still used. The shape before the humidification is maintained. On the other hand, the portion of the pillar is not coated with the organic moisture-proof film 4, and since there is no barrier portion between the adjacent pillars, the anti-composite is coarsened in sequence, and the resolution of the phosphor layer is caused. reduce. According to the above findings, (the film thickness τ (μηι) of the phosphor layer (4) invaded the depth Η-)) (Formula 2) is a phosphor & Formula i is substituted into Formula 2, (film thickness t of the camping layer) $Q5556x (filling rate D) 2_lG9 44χ (filling rate ϋ) + 5528·9..."
