Abstract:
1. A radiation detection apparatus comprising: a plurality of semiconductor substrates each having a first surface on which a photoelectric conversion portion for detecting light is formed and a second surface opposite to said first surface; a scintillator layer, placed over said first surfaces of said plurality of semiconductor substrates, for converting radiation into light; and an elastic member, placed between a base and said second surfaces of the plurality of semiconductor substrates, for supporting said second surfaces of said plurality of semiconductor substrates such that said first surfaces of said plurality of semiconductor substrates are aligned flush with each other, wherein, in measurement of said elastic member as a single body, an amount of stretch of a cubic specimen in a direction parallel to said first surface when being compressed in a direction perpendicular to said first surface is smaller than an amount of stretch of the specimen in the direction perpendicular to said first surface when being compressed in the direction parallel to said first surface.
