Solid state detector and method of manufacturing same
View Patent ↗Deterioration of a photoconductive layer is prevented, by suppressing the application of heat during connection of a second electrode with an external terminal. A solid state detector is constituted by: an external terminal, which is electrically connected to a voltage source for applying a recording voltage to the second electrode when recording image information at a charge accumulating portion; and a connecting member formed by a conductive elastic material, of which a first end is fixed to the external terminal, and a second end contacts the second electrode by elastic force.
1. A solid state detector provided on a substrate, comprising:
first electrodes, stacked on the substrate;
a photoconductive layer that generates charges corresponding to amounts of recording electromagnetic waves bearing image information, stacked on the first electrodes;
a second electrode, stacked on the photoconductive layer;
a charge accumulating portion that records the image information by accumulating the charges generated by the photoconductive layer;
an external terminal, which is electrically connected to a voltage source for applying recording voltage to the second electrode during recording of the image information in the charge accumulating portion; and
a connecting member formed of wire, having a first end connected to the external terminal, and a second end connected to the second electrode by ultrasonic welding.
