Development of high resolution silicon surface barrier detectors
Description
Fabrication methods for silicon surface barrier detectors and their correlated properties which result in the production of high resolution (< 20 keV) devices have been studied. The techniques for fabrication and testing of the detectors currently employed at Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Calcutta, are presented. An FWHM of 14 keV for 5.486 MeV 241Am α has been achieved. The results are therefore comparable with the best in the world. (author). 7 figs., 8 refs
