NUCLEAR METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF DIFFUSION LENGTH IN P-N JUNCTIONS

A p-n germanium junction was irradiated with 4.8-, 6-, and 8.7-Mev alpha particles and 5-, 10-, and 11-Mev protons; the incident particles penetrated into the crystal perpendicularly to the junction plane. The depletion region was 0.7 wide and was located at a distance of 5.3 - from the crystal surface. The variation of the charge collection efficiency vs. incident particle range in the material gave an accurate means of calculating the diffusion length of the minority carriers in the base material.
