PERFORMANCE OF SILICON SURFACE BARRIER DETECTORS WITH CHARGE SENSITIVE AMPLIFIERS

Journal Article · · IRE Trans. Nuclear Sci.
Silicon surface-barrier diode detectors of 1 cm/sup 2/ and 25 mm/sup 2/ sensitive area gave pulse height spectral resolutions of 17 and 13.5 kev (FWHM), respectively, for 5.5-Mev alpha particles. Reverse currents at 500 volts bias were less than 1 x 10/sup -/s amp/cm/sup 2/ with breakdown in excess of 1000 volts. A charge-sensitive amplifier contributed 3.5 and 10 kev noise (FWHM) with an input capacitive loading of 20 and 180 pf, respectively. (auth)
