Abstract
A light detector includes a plurality of light receiving sections which are formed in a substrate and generate signal charges corresponding to the amount of incident light, and a plurality of wirings which are formed on the substrate and fetch the signal charges from the light receiving sections, wherein at least some of the plurality of wirings are disposed so as to overlap with other light receiving sections different from the light receiving sections connected to fetch the signal charges.
Claims16
A light detector comprising:
- a plurality of light receiving sections which are formed in a substrate and generate signal charges corresponding to the amount of incident light;
- and
- a plurality of wirings which are formed on the substrate and fetch the signal charges from the light receiving sections,
- wherein some of the plurality of wirings are disposed so as to overlap with other light receiving sections different from the light receiving sections connected to fetch the signal charges.
A radiation detector comprising:
- a plurality of light receiving sections which are formed in a substrate and generate signal charges corresponding to the amount of incident light;
- a plurality of wirings which are formed on the substrate and fetch the signal charges from the light receiving sections;
- and
- scintillators which are provided on the light receiving sections of the substrate and emit lights each having a wavelength longer than that of radiation in accordance with the incidence of the radiation,
- wherein some of the plurality of wirings are disposed so as to overlap with other light receiving sections different from the light receiving sections connected to fetch the signal charges.
A radiation tomography apparatus comprising:
- a radiation irradiating device which irradiates a subject with radiation;
- and
- a radiation detector which detects the radiation transmitted through the subject,
- said radiation detector including,
- a plurality of light receiving sections which are formed in a substrate and generate signal charges corresponding to the amount of incident light;
- a plurality of wirings which are formed on the substrate and fetch the signal charges from the light receiving sections;
- and
- scintillators which are provided on the light receiving sections of the substrate and emit lights each having a wavelength longer than that of the radiation in accordance with the incidence of the radiation,
- wherein some of the plurality of wirings are disposed so as to overlap with other light receiving sections different from the light receiving sections connected to fetch the signal charges.
