Original Abstract Submitted
A radiation detector includes a semiconductor layer including a detection region and a peripheral region provided outside the detection region, a first support member configured to support at least a part of the peripheral region in a surface of the semiconductor layer, and a second support member configured to support a part of the first support member from a side opposite to the semiconductor layer. A point at a side surface of the first support member is defined as EP, and a point at a side surface of the second support member is defined as EP, the EP is spaced apart from a boundary between the detection region and the peripheral region by a first distance, and the EP is spaced apart from the boundary between the detection region and the peripheral region by a second distance larger than the first distance.
