ON THE INDUCED CHARGE IN SEMICONDUCTOR DETECTORS

Journal Article · · Nucl. Instr. Methods
The induced charge in an ionization chamber is usually represented by DELTA q = e DELTA x/d (1) or DELTA q = e DELTA V/V (2), where V = voltage across the device, d = spacing between electrodes, and DELTA V = potential difference between two points spaced DELTA x along the path of the charge e. Equation (1) is shown to be valid in the presence of a fixed space charge (depletion layer), while equation (2) is not. (D.L.C.)
