Semiconductor neutron detector for neutron dosimeter, has converter material disposed to fill cylindrical cavities provided in volume of semi-conductor substrate, and space charge area provided in substrate part to enclose material

摘要

The detector has a converter material (24) that permits to convert incident neutrons into electrically detectable particles. The material is disposed in a manner to fill cylindrical cavities that are provided in a volume of a semi-conductor substrate (21). A space charge area (25) is provided in a part of the substrate adjacent to the filled cavities so as to enclose the converter material. An independent claim is also included for a neutron dosimeter comprising a semi-conductor neutron detector.
