All epitaxial silicon diode heavy ion detector

Conference ·

An all epitaxial silicon diode (ESD) heavy ion detector has been designed, fabricated, and tested. The active area of the detector is 5 cm/sup 2/ and has a total thickness of 50 ..mu... The response of the detector has been studied with fission fragments, alpha particles, oxygen ions, and sulfur ions. A number of advantages in terms of both fabrication and performance are discussed.
