Abstract
Using focused high-energy microbeams of carbon-and oxygen-ions and a h igh speed, wide bandwidth measurement system, we found a strong depend ence of the collected charge and the transient current waveform on the position of ion incidences. Single-event charge is collected by a dif fusion mechanism even when the ion strikes a position about 3 similar to 4 mu m away from the lateral boundary of the p(+) n-junction area.
