Thin epitaxial silicon for dE/dx detectors

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7256802

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 fragments.
