  • Patent number: 12181795
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a scintillation detector structure including the steps of forming a plurality of first structures into a surface of a substrate to form a patterned substrate, filling the plurality of first structures and covering the surface of the substrate with a polymeric material, hardening the polymeric material and first removing the hardened polymeric material from the substrate to obtain a polymeric mold with a patterned surface having a plurality of second structures, performing a surface cleaning treatment and a silanization of the patterned surface of the polymeric mold, filling the plurality of second structures and covering the patterned surface of the polymeric mold with a moldable scintillation material, polymerizing the scintillation material while exerting a pressure on the scintillation material, and second removing the polymerized scintillation material from the plurality of second structures of the polymeric mold to obtain scintillation detector active structures.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 31, 2024
    Assignee: ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE (EPFL)
    Inventors: Veronica Leccese, Michele Caldara, Marcello Pagano, Arnaud Bertsch, Luca Müller, Alessandro Mapelli, Fabrizio Carbone
  • Patent number: 12013502
    Abstract: A scintillation device including a silicon plate having a rectangular shape and having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the first side includes a plurality of first channels arranged to be in parallel with each other extending in a first direction, wherein walls in the silicon plate that form the first channels are coated with an optically reflective or dielectric layer, and wherein the first channels are filled with a scintillation resin in a solid state forming a first waveguide.
