Description

Charge collection efficiency dependence on reverse bias voltage (VB) and on a neutron fluence (Φ) was studied for both Float-Zone (FZ) and Magnetic-Czochralski (MCZ) silicon detectors, irradiated with fast neutron fluences, larger than 1013 n/cm2. For both types of irradiated detectors, the charge collection efficiency was found to have a logarithimc dependence on Φ and its dependence on VB indicated that the relation between charge-carrier concentration and full depletion voltage is not according to the standard equation of a p+-n-n+ device.
