Definitions
- the invention relates to a radiation converter according to the preamble of claim 1. It further relates to a method for producing such a radiation converter according to the O-term of claim.
- Radiation converters are used in medical imaging diagnostics. They are used in particular in X-ray image intensifiers, X-ray detectors and X-ray film recordings as intensifying screens, in storage phosphor imaging systems and in cameras. In such radiation transducers, high energy radiation is absorbed in a scintillator or phosphor layer and converted into light. This light is detected by means of photodiodes or CCDs and evaluated by a downstream electronics.
- alkali halides for example, CsI: be used Tl
- there is a Emis ⁇ sion maximum of the light generated by the prior art usually in the range of 540 nm to 560 nm has a maximum sensitivity of photodiodes and CCDs is other hand, in the Be ⁇ . range from 500 nm to 520 nm. This leads to a loss in the luminous efficacy, which must be compensated by an undesirable increase in the dose.
- the object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a radiation converter is to be specified which, in combination with conventional photosensitive sensors, enables an improved light yield.
- it is intended to specify a method for producing such a radiation converter.
- the content of thallium is in the range of 200 ppm to 2000 ppm. - It has surprisingly been found that, for a ⁇ Ver the inventively proposed low content of thallium application a shift of the emission maximum for small values Neren results. With the proposed radiation converter, an improved light output can be achieved in combination with conventional photosensitive sensors.
- the CsJ contains as a codoping an alkali metal.
- the alkali metal may be selected from the following group of ⁇ : K, Na, Rb. It has proven particularly advantageous for the alkali metal to be present in an amount of from 0.1% by weight to 10.0% by weight. Causes to lower the provision of the proposed co-doping a further shift of the emission maximum of the phosphor layer Who th out ⁇ .
- a concentration of Tl in the needle-shaped crystals along a z-axis of the crystals extending substantially perpendicular to the substrate surface does not deviate by more than 50% from an average concentration of Tl. It has been shown that a shift of the emission maximum is conveyed to lower values by a possible ho ⁇ neous distribution of Tl in CsI grating.
- the measures proposed according to the invention it is mög ⁇ Lich that has an emission peak of the phosphor layer in the range of 500 nm nm to 520th
- the emission maximum can of course be adjusted by varying the aforementioned parameters to a sensitivity maximum of the particular photosensitive sensor used.
- the amount of TlJ is such that the content of thallium in the deposited phosphor layer is in the range from 200 ppm to 2000 ppm.
- the respective one ⁇ utilisede amount of TlJ depends upon the particular conditions on ⁇ steam from. It can be determined within the scope of expert knowledge, depending on the particular vapor deposition conditions selected.
- CsJ, TlJ and optionally the codoping simultaneously and deposit them from the vapor phase on the substrate.
- CsJ and TlJ may be provided in two separate sources in the evaporator. It may also be that the two substances are present in a mixture and are evaporated from a single source.
- alkali halide is evaporated from a separate source.
- the alkali halide is in a mixture with CsJ and / or TlJ and is evaporated from a single source.
- Fig. 1 shows an emission spectrum of a thallium-doped first CsJ layer
- Fig. 2 is an emission spectrum of a doped with thallium and potassium second CsJ layer
- FIG. 3 shows the emission spectrum according to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 in FIG.
- Tl layer is done in a conventional manner by vapor deposition, however, the CsJ and the TlJ are deposited simultaneously.
- the content of Tl average ⁇ be Lich about 1500 ppm.
- the Tl has been particularly homogeneously contained in the acicular CsJ crystals.
- the content of Tl, the crystals which in sentlichen We ⁇ is in a z-axis perpendicular to a substrate surface, Weni ⁇ ger exceed 50% compared to the average concentration of Tl.
- the emission maximum of a layer produced in this way is approximately in the region of 530 nm.
- the emission spectrum has been analyzed by conventional methods. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the emission spectrum is composed of three individual peaks whose maximum lies approximately at 400 nm, 480 nm and 560 nm, respectively.
- Fig. 2 shows an emission spectrum of a second CsJ layer which has been doped with the same content of thallium as the layer shown in Fig. 1.
- KJ is used here in the production of the layer as codoping in an amount such that potassium has been contained in the crystals produced in a content of about 0.5% by weight.
- the addition of an alkali metal as a codoping, especially of potassium causes the peak to be higher in the region of 480 nm and the peak to become smaller at 560 nm. Overall, this results in a shift of the emission maximum to a value in the range of 500 nm.
- codoping of alkali exceeds values of 0.5% by weight, it has proven expedient to additionally prepare the produced layers for about 40 to 80 minutes at a temperature of 200 ° C. to 300 ° C. in air, inert gas or To anneal the vacuum. With this measure it is possible to lower the peak with Ma ⁇ maximum at 560 nm and thus to shift the emission Maxi mum ⁇ towards smaller values.
- FIG. 3 again shows in comparison the emission spectrum of the first layer shown in FIG. 1, the second layer shown in FIG. 2 and a third layer according to the prior art.
- the second layer doped with thallium and potassium shows an emission maximum in the range of 500 nm which is particularly suitable for combination with conventional photosensitive sensors.
