Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a two-dimensional image detecting apparatus, comprising: a conversion layer formation step of forming a conversion layer on a substrate, which has an image detection area and a non-detection area, so that at least the image detection area is covered with the conversion layer, the image detection area having active elements arranged therein, the non-detection area having no active elements arranged therein, the conversion layer converting incident electromagnetic waves into electric charges; a counter substrate disposing step of disposing a spacer material on the non-detection area around the conversion layer, and disposing a counter substrate so as to be opposite to the substrate via the spacer material; a mold structure formation step of forming a mold structure in an area surrounded by the conversion layer, the spacer material, and the counter substrate; a cutting step of, after the mold structure forming step, cutting the substrate and the counter substrate so that respective cut surfaces thereof are flush with each other in a portion of the non-detection area; and a sealing step of securing a sealing member to the respective cut surfaces thereof which are flush with each other.
