  • Abstract
    An analytical expression of the photocurrent in a n-p junction exposed to an ionizing radiation pulse is derived by using a specific decomposition of the minority carrier density. Modeling can be applied to any shape of actual radiation pulses, in particular with significant rise times. Comparisons with experiments and numerical resolutions have shown the validity of the modeling
