Description
(検出システムの構成)
図1は、検出システム10の構成の一例を示す概略図である。図1に示すように検出システム10は、放射線源20、試料S、検出器100およびデータ処理装置500で構成されている。
図2は、検出器100およびデータ処理装置500の機能的な構成を示すブロック図である。検出器100は、例えばX線を検出するフォトンカウンティング方式のハイブリッドピクセルアレイ型の2次元半導体検出器である。ただし、2次元半導体検出器に限らず、1次元半導体検出器であってもよい。検出器100は、単一の検出モジュール105で構成されていてもよいが、複数の検出モジュール105を備えていることが好ましい。検出モジュール105は、検出部110、読み出しチップ120を備えている。
図3(a)は、検出部および読み出しチップを示す背面図である。図3(a)に示すように、検出部110の複数のピクセル115は、2次元的にアレイ化されており、一律の形状で原則規則的に配列されている。ただし、一部のピクセル115は形状や位置が不規則であってもよい。図3(a)に示す例では、検出部110に対して、矩形板状の読み出しチップ120がタイリングされており、隣り合う読み出しチップ120の互いの縁間にはわずかな空隙122が設けられている。
図4は、ピクセル115と計数回路121の配置例を示す背面図である。図4に示すように、各ピクセル115に対して、読み出しチップ120内の計数回路121が設けられ、ピクセル115と計数回路121とが接続部130により接続されている。ピクセル115で放射線を検出したときの信号は接続部130で接続された固別に割り当てられた計数回路121に入り、計数される。
上記の実施形態では、接続部130が規則的に配置されているが、必ずしも規則的に配置されている必要はない。図7は、読み出しチップ220全体にわたって計数回路221および接続部230の配置例を示す背面図である。図5に示す配置例に比べると図7に示す配置例では、ピクセル215と計数回路221のサイズの差が小さい。そのため、互いの重複領域を十分広く確保できるため、接続部230の配置の自由度が大きくなる。したがって、図7に示すように接続部230の不規則な配置も可能になる。
