The present invention provides a two-dimensional image detecting apparatus including a mold structure which apparatus can be applied to mammography, and a manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method includes: a conversion layer formation step of forming a conversion layer (3) on an active matrix substrate (2); a counter substrate formation step of disposing a spacer material (5) and disposing the counter substrate (6) so as to be opposite to the active matrix substrate (2) via the spacer material (5); a mold resin layer formation step of forming a mold structure layer (8) in a space surrounded by the conversion layer (3), the spacer material (5), and the counter substrate (6); and a cutting step of cutting at least the active matrix substrate (2) so that cut surfaces of the constituent members are flush with each other; and a sealing step of securing a sealing material (7) to the cut surface.
