Description

Little work has been done adapting the III-IV compound indium phosphide (InP) for use in semiconducting particle detectors, although InP has been mentioned as a material of interest. This interest is due to the relatively high atomic number, large bandgap (1.35 eV), and the large electron and hole mobilities achievable in InP. It has also been pointed out that the /sup 115/In has a large cross section for solar neutrino interaction and a solar neutrino (128 keV threshold) detector could possible be built from an array of indium containing detectors. In this article, the authors report on semiconductor particle detectors fabricated from InP and tested under various conditions
