Abstract
An X-ray computed tomography apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray detector that includes a first semiconductor chip including a plurality of elements configured to convert X-rays into an electrical signal, a substrate configured to collect the electrical signal from each element, a second semiconductor chip that is provided between the first semiconductor chip and the substrate and is formed of the same material as that of the first semiconductor chip, a plurality of first electrodes configured to couple each element of the first semiconductor chip to the second semiconductor chip, and a plurality of second electrodes that are configured to couple the second semiconductor chip to the substrate and are larger than the first electrodes. The second semiconductor chip wires the first electrodes and the second electrodes on a one-to-one basis.
