Patent ID: 7642519

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a radiation detecting apparatus including a sensor panel having two-dimensionally arranged photoelectric conversion devices and wires, an underlayer provided over the sensor panel so as to cover the photoelectric conversion devices and the wires, and a phosphor layer disposed on the underlayer, wherein the phosphor layer converts a radiation into light capable of being sensed by the photoelectric conversion devices, the method comprising the steps of: applying an atmospheric pressure plasma treatment to a surface of the underlayer provided over the photoelectric conversion devices and the wires, wherein the atmospheric pressure plasma treatment is performed so as to prevent damages to the photoelectric conversion devices and the wires and is performed so as to give the surface of the underlayer a surface energy of 45×10 −3 J/m 2 or more; forming the phosphor layer on the surface of the underlayer, wherein the step of forming the phosphor layer is performed by vapor deposition on the surface of the underlayer, and wherein the phosphor layer has columnar crystals; and the step of covering the phosphor layer with a moisture-resistant protective layer so as to contact with the underlayer in the periphery of the phosphor layer.
