„HPGe detector technologies”
Laboratory of Nuclear Problems Experimental Research Department of Nuclear Spectroscopy and Radiochemistry Supervisors: Dr. V.G. Sandukovsky Jan Jurkowski Dariusz Borowicz Participants: Grzegorz Gach (AGH) Jarosław Mazur (UG)
Project aims: Acquaintance with detector fabrication Performance measurement
Kinds of detectors Coaxial Planar
Detector fabrication Crystal preparation: Cutting a crystal of a required shape. Making a p–n junction. Cutting out a protecting ring. Temperature evaporation Au at the p–n junction side.
Detector fabrication Crystal preparation: Etching and oxidizing for an ohmic contact. Temperature evaporation of Pd and Au upon a prepared surface. Final etching and protecting the surface from the environment.
Detector fabrication Mounting detector
Performance measurement Voltage-Capacity characteristic
Performance measurement Counts Integral
Performance measurement Voltage-Current characteristic
Applications: Research Environment protection Medicine
