Abstract: A process for producing a radiation detector. A plurality of unitary elementary slabs are assembled on a positioning support. The slabs are adhesively bonded onto the common support. The bonding is carried out in two successive steps: a first step for sealing the inter-slab spaces without filling them entirely, and a second step intended to spread a film of adhesive over the entire surface of the assembled slabs. A subsequent step includes fitting the common support.

Abstract: A method for forming indium antimonide photodiodes by ionic implantation of the S.sub.34.sup.+ isotope of sulphur on a p type indium antimonide substrate. These photodiodes may be readily coupled to an N channel charge transfer device which provides multiplexing of the photodiodes and readout of the charges.

Abstract: The surface of a substrate which includes a plurality of photovoltaic junctions spaced along it is prepared as follows: a first anodic oxide layer is formed to cover the whole surface of the substrate and ensures perfect control of the photovoltaic junctions, a second layer is deposited of metal which is impervious to the radiation to be detected, then through photolithography, only the zones of the second layer that it is desired to render impervious to the radiation to be detected are maintained and the remainder removed; and finally, a layer of dielectric material is deposited to cover the whole surface.
