| Research Abstract |
This research is the improvement of the polarization phenomenon for the Schottky type CdTe radiation detector. Aluminum, titanium and nickel were used for the Schottky electrode for the CdTe; and the Al/CdTe/Pt, Ti/CdTe/Pt, and Ni/CdTe/Pt Schottky diodes were fabricated. All these diodes showed the excellent electrical property and the high quality of g-ray radiation detection compared with the commercial In/CdTe/Pt diode. Polarization phenomenon was drastically improved by the sulfur treatment of CdTe surface, and the long-time measurement (about 1day) of γ-ray radiation was achieved. Furthermore, we investigated the passivation film for CdTe radiation detector. Amorphous carbon films showed enough electrical properties (high electrical resistivity and low permittivity) for the insulation between electrodes, and that is a promising candidate of the insulative passivation film for CdTe radiation detector.
