Method for producing a solid-state digital detector of incident radiation

A method for producing a solid-state digital detector of incident radiation comprising a photosensitive sensor and a scintillator, comprising:

• a) a step of growing on a first substrate a scintillating substance from the first substrate, capable of converting the incident radiation into a second radiation to which the sensor is sensitive, the scintillating substance comprising an upstream front face in the direction of propagation of the incident radiation, through which the incident radiation passes, and a downstream front face in the direction of propagation of the incident radiation, opposite the upstream front face;
• b) a step of holding the scintillator at the downstream front face of the scintillating substance;
• c) a step of separating the first substrate from the scintillator,
• wherein the step of separating the first substrate from the scintillator comprises a step of removing a first part of the scintillating substance occupying a first region of the scintillator, said first part of the scintillating substance which has a thickness less than a predefined nominal thickness, and said first region being at the edges of the scintillator;
• and
• wherein the step of removing the first part of the scintillating substance being performed simultaneously with the step of separating the first substrate from the scintillator.
