Abstract
In this study, the basic research verifying possibility of applications as radiology image sensor in Digital Radiography was performed, the radiology image sensor was fabricated using double layer technique tio decrease dark current. High efficiency material in substitution for a-Se have been studied as a direct method of imaging detector in Digital Radiography to decrease dark current by using Hetero junction already used as solar cell, semiconductor. Particle-In-Binder method is used to fabricate radiology image sensor because it has a lot of advantages such as fabrication convenient, high yield, suitability for large area sensor. But high leakage current is one of main problem in PIB method. To make up for the weak points, double layer technique is used, and it is considered that high efficient digital radiation sensor can be fabricated with easy and convenient process. In this study, electrical properties such as leakage current, sensitivity is measured to evaluate double layer radiation sensor material.
