Abstract
An x-ray detector with a scintillator element connected to a detection area of a photodiode via an optically transparently curing adhesive. To increase the sensitivity of the x-ray detector, it is proposed to mix the adhesive with a powder prepared from a material with a refractive index of at least 1.8 and an average grain size of less than 100 nm.
Claims32
An x-ray detector, comprising:
- a scintillator element, connected to a detection area of a photodiode via an optically transparently curing adhesive, a powder being prepared from a material with a refractive index of at least 1.8 and the average grain size of which is less than 100 nm being added to the adhesive as a filler.
A method, comprising:
- using an optically transparently curing adhesive, to which there is added as a filler a powder prepared from a material with a refractive index of at least 1.8 and the average grain size of which is less than 100 nm, for connecting a scintillator element of an x-ray detector to a detection area of a photodiode of the x-ray detector.
A method for producing an x-ray detector, comprising:
- preparing an optically transparently curing adhesive, to which a powder prepared from a material with a refractive index of at least 1.8 and having an average grain size of less than 100 nm is added as a filler;
- and
- producing an adhesive connection between a detection area of a photodiode and a scintillator element.
