Abstract :
A simple and reliable technique for the construction of surface barrier detectors in silicon and germanium will be described. Results will be presented on their characteristics, sensitive depth, working life, and damage by radiation. Various structures of detector have been investigated, and their applications to nuclear physics will be discussed.
