AN ENCAPSULATED SILICON JUNCTION ALPHA-PARTICLE DETECTOR
Journal Article
·
· IRE Trans. Nuclear Sci.
The construction of a silicon-diffused junction alpha detector in a form which allows complete encapsulation and protection of the junction edge and which preserves a good geometry is described. The unit is inherently shielded from electrical pickup, and is shielded from ambient light by a thin metallic film over the sensitive surface. A modified form of the same encapsulation was used for large area units of 2 cm/sup 2/ suitable for contamination monitoring. Measurements of energy resolution and other characteristics are reported for units of sensitive area 5 mm/sup 2/, 20 mm/sup 2/, and 200 mm/sup 2/. (auth)
