Features of epitaxial layers GaAs as α-detectors

  • 1. Fiziko-Tekhnicheskij Inst. im. A. F. Ioffe RAN, Sankt-Peterburg (Russian Federation)

Description

Properties of p+ - n structures on the basis of epitaxial layers GaAs used as light ion (α-particle) detectors are considered. Performances of GaAs detectors are compared with recent literature data on potentialities of modern semi-insulating SI-GaAs structures. It is noted that epitaxial layers have less impurities and structure defects generating the deep levels in the forbidden zone
