This invention relates to a monolithic IC having a PIN photodiode and an n-p-n bipolar transistor formed on a single semiconductor (silicon) substrate. In fabricating such IC, it is important to electrically isolate the photodiode and the bipolar transistor. In addition it is necessary to make the surface of the substrate flat. According to this invention, the inter-device isolation between the above-described two devices is attained by forming two epitaxial layers on the silicon substrate, forming trenches in the layers, and burying silicon dioxide in the trenches. In the monolithic IC according to this invention wiring capacity is small, and high-speed performance becomes possible. A p-type buried-layer is formed below the bipolar transistor to thereby prevent punch through between the bipolar transistor and other devices. Also this invention provides the process for fabricating a planar type bipolar transistor suitable to fabricate the monolithic IC and also provides a PIN photodiode of a new structure.

In a manufacturing method for a monolithic ceramic electronic component, a ceramic paste is applied by using an application plate to a side surface of each of a plurality of green chips arrayed in row and column directions which are obtained after cutting a mother block. In the applying step, the ceramic paste is transferred to the side surface by moving the green chips and the application plate relative to each other in the direction in which the side surface extends while separating the green chips from the application plate, in a state where the ceramic paste is connected to both the green chips and the application plate.

An X-ray CT apparatus includes a scanner mounted with a detection system having an X-ray source for generating X-rays applied radially to an object and a detector arranged so as to be opposite to the X-ray source and adapted to detect the image of the transmitted X-rays transmitted through the object, wherein the scanner is rotated around the object. A three-dimensional X-ray absorption coefficient distribution image of the object is reconstructed from the transmitted X-ray image and the rotation-axis projection position which is the position where the rotation center of the scanner is projected on the detection plane of a two-dimensional sensor constituting the detector is decided. On the basis of the contrast of the X-ray absorption coefficient distribution image reconstructed by using the decided rotation-axis projection position, the rotation-axis projection position is estimated, and an X-ray tomographic image or/and a three dimensional X-ray image of the object is generated.

When the laser-stimulable phosphor plate of an information reading apparatus for radiation image is constituted of CsI as the base and 0.0003 to 0.03% in atomic ratio of Na, the output signal of the information reading apparatus can be increased and the decay time thereof can be shortened. When output signals are produced by detecting fluorescence emitted from a fluoroscopic plate disposed in confrontation with the laser-stimulable phosphor plate, there is provided an information reading apparatus for radiation image having an improved S/N ratio and a high efficiency of taking in laser-stimulated luminescence. Further, instead of Na or together with Na, there may be added at least one element selected from the group consisting of Li, K, Rb, Cu, Au, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd, Hg, B, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Si, Ti, Zr, Ge, Sn, Pb, As, Sb, and Bi. In this case, the total content of these elements is set to be 0.00001 to 1% in atomic ratio.

In a manufacturing method for a monolithic ceramic electronic component, a plurality of green chips arrayed in row and column directions which are obtained after cutting a mother block are spaced apart from each other and then tumbled, thereby uniformly making the side surface of each of the green chips an open surface. Thereafter, an adhesive is applied to the side surface. Then, by placing a side surface ceramic green sheet on an affixation elastic body, and pressing the side surface of the green chips against the side surface ceramic green sheet, the side surface ceramic green sheet is punched and stuck to the side surface.
