Abstract :
A new type of the photovoltaic X-ray detector based on epitaxial p+–n–n′–n+ GaAs structures which provides a high efficiency of charge collection in the non-bias operation mode at room temperature is proposed. The GaAs epitaxial structures were grown by vapor-phase epitaxy on heavily doped n+-GaAs(1 0 0) substrates. The absorption efficiency of GaAs X-ray detector is discussed. I–V and C–V characteristics of the photovoltaic X-ray detectors are analyzed. The built-in electric field profiles in the depletion region of epitaxial structures are measured by the EBIC method. Charge collection efficiency to α-particles and γ-radiation are measured. The application of X-ray detectors is discussed.
