Thin epitaxial silicon for dE/dx detectors

Conference ·

The techniques for fabricating thin self-supporting epitaxial films for dE/dx detectors have been studied. Detectors having thicknesses between 1 and 4 ..mu..m with areas of 12.5 mm/sup 2/ have been fabricated and tested. The response of the detectors has been studied with alpha particles, oxygen ions, and fission framents.
