- CsI / Tl phosphor layer deposition process One characteristic of the CsI / Tl phosphor layer deposition process is that the film is formed while mixing CsI and TlI in the gas phase. If TlI is not uniformly mixed with CsI at a desired concentration, proper sensitivity characteristics cannot be obtained. Since TlI has a significantly higher vapor pressure than CsI, even if both materials are simply mixed and deposited in one crucible, an appropriate concentration distribution cannot be obtained.
- TlI concentrates in the initial stage of vapor deposition, that is, near the substrate, and TlI almost disappears at the end of vapor deposition.
- the portion far from the substrate that is, the portion on the vapor deposition surface side hardly emits light even when irradiated with X-rays, and the sensitivity characteristic as a scintillator panel is lowered. Therefore, it is important to make the TlI concentration in the phosphor layer uniform.
- Sensitivity ghost is a phenomenon in which after the scintillator is irradiated with X-rays, afterglow remains only at the irradiated portion. Once the scintillator is irradiated with X-rays that have passed through the subject, and an X-ray image is taken again at a relatively short interval (for example, 5 minutes), the afterimage of the previous irradiation overlaps with the current image, and diagnosis is performed.

This test is a measurement result of the sensitivity ghost of the radiation detector in which the ratio of the deposition rate of the CsI phosphor layer to the rotational speed, that is, the value of T / R is changed.
- Sensitivity ghost is usually irradiated with a large dose (2400 mAs) of X-rays with an object that shields X-rays between the radiation detector and the X-ray generator, and after 5 minutes, the object is removed.

- the sensitivity ghost is GS (%)
- the signal amount of the portion without the irradiation history before photographing that is, the sensitivity of the non-irradiated portion
- the signal amount of the portion with the large dose irradiation history that is, the large dose irradiated partial sensitivity
- the fluorescence phenomenon of CsI / Tl is such that after the X-rays absorbed by the CsI crystal are converted to high-speed electrons, the electrons in the valence band in the crystal are sequentially excited while decelerating themselves. It is generated by emitting light quickly by passing through the emission center composed of Tl ions scattered in the crystal. When there is no Tl ion nearby, the excitation energy remains in the phosphor layer and does not readily release energy as light emission. Then, in the next frame, X-rays are absorbed, stimulated by newly generated high-speed electrons, and emitted as a ghost.
- the sensitivity ghost was 2.3 to 2.8%.
- the normal dose image after the large dose irradiation may be covered with the ghost of the previous irradiation image, which may hinder the image diagnosis.
- the sensitivity ghost is reduced by reducing the ratio of the film formation rate of the phosphor layer 2 to the rotational speed, that is, the value of T / R.
- the ratio of the film formation rate of the phosphor layer 2 to the rotational speed that is, the value of T / R.
- the ratio (T / R) of the film formation rate of the phosphor layer 2 to the rotational speed is set to 40 nm or less at which the sensitivity ghost is reduced from the experimental results shown in FIG. That is, the phosphor layer 2 is formed by alternately stacking the high thallium concentration layers 61 and the low thallium concentration layers 62, and the period of the thallium concentration in the stacking direction is 40 nm or less.
- the ratio (T / R) of the film formation rate of the phosphor layer 2 to the rotational speed is preferably 15 nm or less.
- the period in the stacking direction of the thallium concentration in the phosphor layer 2 is 40 nm or less.

Abstract
Description
なお、図1に示すように、高タリウム濃度層61の積層方向位置、または低タリウム濃度層62の積層方向位置は、蛍光体層2の平面方向の領域(例えば、図1における左右方向の領域)によって異なるものとなっている。
後述する図6に示すように、CsI蒸気を発生させる第1のるつぼ12と、TlI蒸気を発生させる第2のるつぼ13は、基板11に対向するようにそれぞれ配置されている。
そのため、蛍光体層2が形成される際に、第2のるつぼ13に近い領域において高タリウム濃度層61が形成され、隣接する第1のるつぼ12に近い領域において低タリウム濃度層62が形成される。
そして、基板11の回転に伴い、高タリウム濃度層61が形成される領域、および低タリウム濃度層62が形成される領域が移動する。
そのため、第2のるつぼ13に近い領域において低タリウム濃度層62の上に高タリウム濃度層61が形成され、隣接する第1のるつぼ12に近い領域において高タリウム濃度層61の上に低タリウム濃度層62が形成される。
その結果、高タリウム濃度層61の積層方向位置、または低タリウム濃度層62の積層方向位置は、蛍光体層2の平面方向の領域によって異なるものとなる。
