In the intermediate generation layer 22 of the first embodiment, the tellurium concentration is about 2.5 wt%.
- lithium fluoride (LiF) added (doped) to the a-Se + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23) forms a hole trap level and blocks holes from the transparent electrode layer 122.
- this prevention effect is that LiF is arranged in the vicinity of the front end position F of the photoelectric conversion layer 10 (carrier generation layer 11) as in the prior art. Even if it is not done, it is considered to be achieved by making the interface state between the transparent electrode layer 122 and the photoelectric conversion layer 10 appropriate.
- LiF has an electric field relaxation effect in front of the light penetration direction.
- avalanche doubling is suppressed and light carrier generation is mainly performed in each of the layers ahead of the a-Se + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23).

- the front end position of the a-Se + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23) is a depth position of 0.4 ⁇ m from the layer front end position F. That is, an a-Se + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23) is formed at a depth position separated by 0.4 ⁇ m from the front end position F of the layer.
- the light penetration depth which is the depth at which the light intensity is attenuated to 1 / e 2 , is about 0.1 ⁇ m for blue light (B: 440 nm), about 0.23 ⁇ m for green light (G: 540 nm), It is about 2.8 ⁇ m with red light (R: 620 nm).
- an a-Se + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23) is disposed at a position deeper than the penetration depth of green light from the blue light. Therefore, in the photoelectric conversion layer 10 (carrier generation layer 11), at least blue light and green light photoelectric conversion (generation of optical carriers) is sufficiently performed due to the electric field relaxation effect. Further, the optical carriers generated in this way are avalanche multiplied by the subsequent carrier multiplication layer 12.

- FIG. 4 shows the test results of the primary conversion efficiency in high-temperature storage for the photoelectric conversion layer 10 (a) of the first embodiment and the photoelectric conversion film (b) of Patent Document 1 described above.
- 50% white light is applied under a voltage condition that does not cause avalanche, and the luminance when a predetermined current flows is measured to evaluate the sensitivity.
- the relative value is calculated by reference luminance / sample luminance.
- the horizontal axis represents “heating time (h) at 50 ° C.”, and the vertical axis represents “sensitivity equivalent luminance value”, which represents the sensitivity in a high-temperature storage (acceleration) environment.
- the a-Se + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23) in the carrier generation layer 11 is made to have a penetration depth of substantially green light (which is 0.2 ⁇ m). Since it is arranged at a deep position, the electric field relaxation region by LiF can be widened (long). Thereby, after sufficient photoelectric conversion of the imaging target light can be performed, avalanche multiplication can be performed, and an improvement in relative quantum efficiency (sensitivity improvement) of each color light of R, G, and B can be achieved. In particular, the quantum efficiency of green light can be improved as compared with the conventional one. In addition, the quantum efficiency of red light in a high-temperature storage environment can be improved, and the occurrence of “white scratches” can be suppressed.
- tellurium (Te) is added to the intermediate portion generation layer 22, but antimony (Sb), cadmium (Cd), and bismuth (Bi), which have a lower band gap than selenium (Se). One or more of them may be added.

- the a-Se + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23) is disposed in front of the carrier multiplication layer 12, and the front end position thereof is a depth of 0.4 ⁇ m from the layer front end position F. Further, the a-Se + Te layer (intermediate generation layer 22) is omitted, and the front end position F of the layer is coincident with the front end position of the a-Se + As layer (front generation layer 21).
- the a-Se + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23) in the carrier generation layer 11 is deeper than the penetration depth of about green light (which is 0.2 ⁇ m). Since it is arranged at a position, the electric field relaxation region by LiF can be widened (long). Thereby, the quantum efficiency of green light can be improved. In this case, in the actual measurement value, the quantum efficiency of 550 nm wavelength light (green light) was improved by 1.7 times. In addition, the quantum efficiency of red light in a high-temperature storage environment can be improved, and the occurrence of “white scratches” can be suppressed.
- the rear generation layer 23 may be an a-Se + Te + LiF layer containing tellurium (modified example).
- the quantum efficiency of light having a wavelength of 550 nm (green light) is improved by 1.9 times.

- the film thickness of the photoelectric conversion layer 10B including the carrier multiplication layer 12 is about 4 ⁇ m.
- the a-Se + As + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23B) is disposed in front of the carrier multiplication layer 12, and the front end position thereof is a depth of 0.4 ⁇ m from the front end position F of the layer. Further, the a-Se + Te layer (intermediate generation layer 22) is disposed on the layer front end position F side with respect to the rear generation layer 23B, and the a-Se + As layer (front generation layer 21) is more than the intermediate generation layer 22. It is arrange
- the a-Se + As + LiF layer (rear generation layer 23B) in the carrier generation layer 11 is deeper than the penetration depth of about green light (which is 0.2 ⁇ m). Since it is arranged at a position, the electric field relaxation region by LiF can be widened (long). Thereby, the quantum efficiency of green light can be improved. In this case, in the actual measurement value, the quantum efficiency of 550 nm wavelength light (green light) was improved by 1.7 times. In addition, the quantum efficiency of red light in a high-temperature storage environment can be improved, and the occurrence of “white scratches” can be suppressed.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un film de conversion photoélectrique et analogues tels qu'un effet d'avalanche peut être provoqué après qu'une conversion photoélectrique de lumière verte en particulier a été suffisamment réalisée. Le film de conversion photoélectrique (10) de la présente invention est équipé d'une couche de génération de supports (11) pour générer des supports optiques en fonction de la quantité de lumière incidente et d'une couche de multiplication de supports (12) pour multiplier par effet d'avalanche les supports optiques générés, chacune des couches étant principalement constituée de sélénium amorphe. La couche de génération de supports (11) comporte une couche de génération arrière (23) à laquelle du fluorure de lithium est ajouté, ladite couche de génération arrière (23) se trouvant à une position plus profonde qu'une profondeur de pénétration de 0,2 µm pour la lumière sensiblement verte provenant d'une position d'extrémité avant de couche (F) au niveau de laquelle la lumière est incidente.
