Temperature dependence of AlGaAs soft X-ray detectors
We have fabricated and characterised unpassivated 200 μm diameter circular mesa Al 0.8Ga 0.2As p +–i–n + diodes as soft X-ray photon counting detectors. The spectroscopic performance, as measured by the FWHM of the 5.9 keV X-ray line from an 55Fe radioisotope, shows that these detectors can be used...

Summary: | We have fabricated and characterised unpassivated 200
μm diameter circular mesa Al
0.8Ga
0.2As p
+–i–n
+ diodes as soft X-ray photon counting detectors. The spectroscopic performance, as measured by the FWHM of the 5.9
keV X-ray line from an
55Fe radioisotope, shows that these detectors can be used for X-ray photon counting spectroscopy with promising energy resolution (0.9–2.5
keV) over a −30 to +90
°C temperature range. |
