Si. Grishaev et al., SCINTILLATOR PHOTODIODE GAMMA-DETECTORS BASED ON HIGH-RESISTANCE SILICON-WAFERS, Instruments and experimental techniques, 38(5), 1995, pp. 609-611
The characteristics of photodiodes with areas of 1 cm(2) and manufactu
red from the high-resistance (rho(n) = 7 k Ohm . cm) silicon wafers pr
oduced by Wacker are given. Gamma detectors including EGO or CsI(Tl) s
cintillators with volumes of 1, 10, 20, and 106 cm(3) have been built
using these photodiodes. The energy resolutions at a photon energy of
662 keV are 6, 8, 9, and 14%, respectively.
