Method for Manufacturing an Active Structure for A Radiation Detector and Polymeric Mold for the Method

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a scintillation detector structure including the steps of forming a plurality of first structures into a surface of a substrate to form a patterned substrate, filling the plurality of first structures and covering the surface of the substrate with a polymeric material, hardening the polymeric material and first removing the hardened polymeric material from the substrate to obtain a polymeric mold with a patterned surface having a plurality of second structures, performing a surface cleaning treatment and a silanization of the patterned surface of the polymeric mold, filling the plurality of second structures and covering the patterned surface of the polymeric mold with a moldable scintillation material, polymerizing the scintillation material while exerting a pressure on the scintillation material, and second removing the polymerized scintillation material from the plurality of second structures of the polymeric mold to obtain scintillation detector active structures.
