High purity n-type Si was used to fabricate surface-barrier nuclear radiation detectors in which the barrier was an evaporated gold film. A spatial distribution of the energy resolution and carrier-collection time were found to be correlated with the impurity distribution: gradients of this distribution resulted in a reduction in the energy resolution and an increase in the carrier-collection time.
