SEMICONDUCTOR JUNCTION BARRIER DETECTORS FOR IONIZING RADIATION (in Polish)
A review of both grown-barrier and surface-barrier semiconductor devices for the detection of ionizing radiation is presented. One hundred and eighteen references are included. Both silicon and germanium semiconductor devices are covered. The fundamentals of charge carriers are reviewed, covering the magnitude of current collected, the velocity of the charge carriers, the thickness of the active layer, and the range of heavy ions in the semiconductor material. Many of the significant electrical and physical properties of specific semiconductor devices are tabulated for a large number of commercial detectors. Application of the devices to heavy ion spectrometry is well covered, including the response function for many of the geometries and associated electronics employed, the energy resolution of the devices and their linearity to protons, alphas and fission fragments. The lithium-sandwich neutron detector is also discussed, including the response function as measured both with and without the use of a coincidence circuit. (TTT)
