Patent ID: 8143587

Claim:
A radiation image detector, comprising: a bias electrode, which has transmissivity with respect to a recording electromagnetic wave carrying image information, a recording photoconductive layer, which contains a-Se as a principal constituent, and which is capable of generating electric charges when the recording electromagnetic wave having passed through the bias electrode is irradiated onto the recording photoconductive layer, a charge accumulating section, which accumulates the generated electric charges, a reference electrode constituted by a plurality of electrodes, and a base plate, the bias electrode, the recording photoconductive layer, the charge accumulating section, the reference electrode, and the base plate being overlaid in this order, wherein: an intermediate layer is provided between the recording photoconductive layer and the reference electrode, the intermediate layer being an a-Se layer containing, as a specific substance, at least one kind of substance selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal fluoride, an alkaline earth metal fluoride, an alkali metal oxide, an alkaline earth metal oxide, SiO x , and GeO x where x represents a number satisfying 0.5≦x≦1.5, the concentration of the specific substance falling within the range of 0.003 mol % to 0.03 mol %, a hole blocking layer is provided between the intermediate layer and the reference electrode, and a crystallization preventing layer, which is an a-Se layer that includes 3% to 40% As, is provided between the intermediate layer and the reference electrode.
