Claim Text:
1. A method for producing a detection apparatus, the detection apparatus including a pixel-array region where a plurality of pixels is disposed on a substrate and a pixel-array outside region disposed outside the pixel-array region on the substrate, each of the plurality of pixels including a conversion elements including an electrode electrically connected to a corresponding one of a plurality of switching elements, an impurity semiconductor layer disposed on the electrode, and a semiconductor layer disposed on the impurity semiconductor layer, the method comprising: a first step of forming a plurality of electrodes in the pixel-array region on a surface of an interlayer insulating layer formed so as to cover the plurality of switching elements, and forming a covering layer on a surface of the interlayer insulating layer in the pixel-array outside region, the covering layer being composed of an inorganic material; and a second step of forming the impurity semiconductor layer on the electrodes so that an end of the impurity semiconductor layer of a pixel located at an edge of the pixel-array region among the plurality of pixels is laid on the covering layer.
