  • Publication number: 20060261286
    Abstract: An Ag film as a light-reflecting film is formed on one surface of an a-C substrate of a scintillator panel. The entire surface of the Ag film is covered with an SiN film for protecting the Ag film. A scintillator having a columnar structure, which converts an incident radiation into visible light, is formed on the surface of the SiN film. The scintillator is covered with a polyparaxylylene film together with the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20060263521
    Abstract: An auxiliary substrate 20 is overlapped onto a thin substrate 11, and substrate 11 and auxiliary substrate 20 are covered with an organic film 12. Thereafter, a scintillator 13 is formed on a scintillator forming portion 12A of organic film 12 that corresponds to substrate 11. Here, since thickness is added to substrate 11 by auxiliary substrate 20, the warping of substrate 11 is prevented and scintillator 13 is formed uniformly.

  • Patent number: 6982421
    Abstract: To both increase the efficiency of conversion into EUV radiation energy and also increase the amount of emerging EUV radiation in an EUV source a discharge tube is connected to a gas supply space for supply of the discharge gas which in located radially with respect to an optical axis. The discharge gas is supplied to the discharge space through the gas supply space, passes through the center opening of the anode, emerges from the discharge part and is afterwards evacuated from an evacuation opening. The anode and the cathode are connected to a pulse current source. Discharge plasma is produced and EUV radiation is formed by a heavy current pulse from the pulse current source within the discharge space of the discharge tube. The EUV radiation which has formed passes through a through-opening of the anode and is emitted to the outside.
