Specifically, the radiation detection element 2 could not use the portion having a length d that overlaps with the shielding member 7X in the width direction x for detecting radiation. The radiation detection element 2 had a plurality of pixels that could not be used for detecting radiation. Therefore, the conventional radiation detector 1X needs to be provided with a radiation detection element 2 having a size larger than the size required for actual detection.
- the shielding member 7X was in a state of covering a part of the radiation detection element 2 from above. Therefore, in order to avoid contact between the radiation detection element 2 and the shielding member 7X, it is necessary to leave a certain interval h in the vertical direction z.

It is advantageous to improve the shielding effect of the shielding member 7. It becomes easy to avoid a problem that radiation permeates through a minute gap or the like between the side surface 2a of the radiation detection element 2 and the shielding member 7 and reaches the semiconductor element 3. It is possible to avoid a problem that the characteristics of the semiconductor element 3 gradually change due to the radiation reaching the semiconductor element 3. Since deterioration and characteristic changes of the semiconductor element 3 can be avoided, it is advantageous to maintain the detection accuracy by the radiation detector 1. When the characteristics of the semiconductor element 3 gradually change, the deterioration of the semiconductor element 3 is not noticed, and there is a problem that an erroneous radiographic image or the like is continuously acquired.

It was not processed and had irregularities (see the shielding member 7X on the right side of FIG. 6). Therefore, the detection conditions for each pixel of the radiation detection element 2 may differ. There is a problem that the manufacturing cost of the radiation detector 1 is significantly increased in order to precisely align the shielding member 7X and the radiation detection element 2 and to process the end portion of the shielding member 7X straight with high accuracy.
- FIG. 6 for the sake of explanation, a part of the radiation detection element 2 and the like covered with the shielding member 7X is shown by a broken line.
- the radiation detector 1 of the present invention can detect radiation in all pixels of the radiation detection element 2 without being affected by the shielding member 7. It is advantageous to improve the radiation detection accuracy while significantly suppressing the manufacturing cost of the radiation detector 1.
- the upper surface of the shielding member 7 is not covered with other members, it is advantageous for visually confirming the state of the shielding member 7.
- the shielding member 7 is not attached to the upper surface of the radiation detection element 2 and that the shielding member 7 is in close contact with the side surface 2a of the radiation detection element 2 without any gap. .. Further, the state of the shielding member 7 can be confirmed not only at the time of assembling the radiation detector 1 but also at the time of maintenance after the lapse of a predetermined period.
- the radiation detector 1 can be repaired by filling the portion where the peeling has occurred with the shielding member 7 before curing. It is advantageous to avoid deterioration and characteristic change of the semiconductor element 3.
- the thickness of the shielding member 7 can be appropriately changed, and the shielding member 7 can be arranged to an appropriate thickness. It is possible to avoid a problem that the thickness of the shielding member 7 is insufficient.
- the shielding member 7 can be additionally arranged to change the thickness even after the shielding member 7 is arranged and cured. For example, when the output of the radiation radiated to the radiation detector 1 is changed in the direction of increasing, the shielding member 7 can be additionally arranged to increase the thickness. It is advantageous to avoid deterioration and characteristic changes of the semiconductor element 3 over a long period of time.
- the shielding member 7 may be composed of, for example, a film-shaped member formed into a film by dispersing an inorganic substance in a thermoplastic elastomer. Particles that shield radiation may be dispersed in a resin material constituting the film to form a film-like member.
- the film-shaped shielding member 7 is arranged in a state where one end is in contact with the side surface 2a of the radiation detection element 2 and the other end is in contact with the upper surface 3a of the semiconductor element 3 in the width direction x (shielding on the left side of FIG. 7). See member 7).
- the shielding member 7 After that, by being heated, the shielding member 7 is deformed into a state of being in close contact with the side surface 2a and the upper surface 3a (see the shielding member 7 on the right side of FIG. 7).
- the shielding member 7 is arranged without a gap with respect to the radiation detection element 2 and the semiconductor element 3. It is advantageous for suppressing the radiation from reaching the semiconductor element 3.
- the radiation detection element 2 can be fixed to the semiconductor element 3 by the film-shaped shielding member 7. It is advantageous to firmly fix the radiation detection element 2 to the semiconductor element 3.
- the adhesive may be arranged in the gap between the lower surface of the radiation detection element 2 and the upper surface of the semiconductor element 3. It is advantageous to fix the radiation detection element 2 and the semiconductor element 3 more firmly. At that time, it is necessary to be careful not to allow substances other than the adhesive such as air bubbles to enter the gap between the radiation detection element 2 and the semiconductor element 3.
- the adhesive may not be placed in the gap between the radiation detection element 2 and the semiconductor element 3.
- a homogeneous air layer is formed between the radiation detection element 2 and the semiconductor element 3. It is possible to avoid a problem that an adverse effect is generated on the electric or optical signal transmitted from the radiation detection element 2 to the semiconductor element 3. If foreign matter such as air bubbles is mixed in when the adhesive is placed in the gap, the electrical or optical signal transmitted from the radiation detection element 2 to the semiconductor element 3 is adversely affected. This effect is not desirable because it affects the detection result of the radiation detector 1.
- the manufacturing process of the radiation detector 1 can be simplified and the influence on the detection accuracy can be eliminated. Even when the shielding member 7 is composed of a mixture of an adhesive and particles that shield radiation as in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, it is desirable that the shielding member 7 does not flow into the gap. When the shielding member 7 is made of an adhesive or the like, the inflow of the shielding member 7 into the gap can be suppressed by adjusting the viscosity thereof.
- the shielding member 7 when the shielding member 7 is composed of a mixture of an epoxy-based resin adhesive and powdered bismuth oxide, it is possible to mix an amount of bismuth oxide that is twice the volume ratio with the epoxy-based resin adhesive. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the shielding member 7 from flowing into the gap between the radiation detection element 2 and the semiconductor element 3 during coating. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the shielding member 7 is not arranged inside the side surface 2a of the radiation detection element 2 in a plan view. That is, the shielding member 7 does not come into contact with the upper surface of the processing region 3b of the semiconductor element 3. It is advantageous for suppressing the influence on the electric or optical signal transmitted from the radiation detection element 2 to the semiconductor element 3.
- the radiation detector 1 may be configured to include a cover 8 arranged above the radiation detection element 2.
- the cover 8 is made of a member that shields radiation.
- a shielding member 7 is arranged in the vicinity of the radiation detection element 2 in a state of being in contact with the side surface 2a. Therefore, the cover 8 does not need to be arranged at a position that covers the upper surface of the peripheral edge portion of the radiation detection element 2.
- the cover 8 is arranged at a position away from the side surface 2a of the radiation detection element 2 in a plan view. For example, in the width direction x, the region near the side surface 2a of the radiation detection element 2 is shielded by the shielding member 7, and the region away from the side surface 2a is shielded by the cover 8.
- the radiation shielding effect can be improved by installing the cover 8.
- the radiation detection element 2 can efficiently detect radiation over the entire upper surface. It is advantageous to reduce the size of the radiation detector 1 in a plan view.
- the cover 8 may be lowered to a height at which it comes into contact with the shielding member 7.
- the radiation detector 1 may be configured with the heights of the upper surface of the radiation detection element 2 and the upper surface of the cover 8 being the same.
- the shielding member 7 is arranged in a portion that becomes a gap between the radiation detection element 2 and the cover 8 in a plan view, and the upper surface of the shielding member 7 in this portion is another member. It will be exposed without contacting with. Even when the cover 8 is arranged in contact with the shielding member 7, the shielding member 7 at the portion where the radiation detection element 2 and the cover 8 are in contact with each other in a plan view has another member in contact with the upper surface thereof. It will be in a state where it does not. It is possible to visually confirm the contact state between the side surface 2a of the radiation detection element 2 and the shielding member 7.
- the thickness of the shielding member 7 can be changed in the portion where the radiation detection element 2 and the cover 8 are in a gap. Since the radiation is shielded by the cover 8 in the portion of the shielding member 7 whose upper surface is covered with the cover 8, there is no problem even if the state of the shielding member 7 cannot be confirmed. It suffices if the state of the shielding member 7 can be confirmed at least in the portion where the upper surface is not covered by the cover 8.
- the resin mold 9 may be arranged at the connection portion between the conductive wire 6 and the semiconductor element 3. It is advantageous for improving the insulation between the plurality of conductive wires 6 arranged and ensuring low capacitance. It is advantageous for suppressing signal interference between the conductive wires 6. Further, it is advantageous to firmly fix the conductive wire 6 to the semiconductor element 3.
- the cover 8 is arranged above the resin mold 9. Radiation that passes through the resin mold 9 and reaches the semiconductor element 3 is shielded by the cover 8.
- the shielding member 7 may be arranged in a state where the resin mold 9 is involved. In this case, the shielding member 7 is arranged above the resin mold 9.
