RADIATION DETECTOR AND RADIATION IMAGING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240310537 titled 'RADIATION DETECTOR AND RADIATION IMAGING SYSTEM
The abstract describes a radiation detector with a semiconductor layer containing a detection region and a peripheral region. It also includes a first support member supporting part of the peripheral region on the surface of the semiconductor layer, and a second support member supporting part of the first support member from the opposite side of the semiconductor layer. The distance between the side surface of the first support member (ep) and the boundary between the detection region and the peripheral region is defined as the first distance, while the distance between the side surface of the second support member (ep) and the same boundary is defined as the second distance, which is larger than the first distance.

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.
