Description

According to Bragg formula and L.S.S theory, the calculation analyzes the range and energy loss of 241Am radioactive source in GaN and Ni/Au alloy material of device electrode in PIN structure, uses SRIM to simulate the range and energy loss of 241Am in GaN, and figures out the best thickness of I layer in PIN structure. It optimizes the design of PIN structure CaN-based α particle detector, and provides a theoretical basis and experimental reference data for MOCVD technology to prepare PIN structure GaN-based a particle detector.
