Abstract

The invention discloses an Alpha irradiation scintillator detector based on a silicon carbide PIN diode structure and a manufacturing method thereof mainly in order to solve the problem that the detector is low in detection rate, not easy to integrate, and poor in radiation resistance in the prior art. The silicon carbide PIN diode type alpha ray detector comprises an N-type ohmic contact electrode (8), an N-type SiC substrate (7), an N-type buffer layer (6) and a doped thick intrinsic absorption layer (5) sequentially from bottom to top. The intrinsic absorption layer (5) is provided with a window in the middle area, and a silver-doped zinc sulfide scintillator (1) is embedded into the window. A SiO2 reflective layer (2) is deposited inside and on the window. A P+ thin layer (4) is arranged above the two sides of the intrinsic absorption layer (5). A P-type ohmic contact electrode (3) is arranged above the P+ thin layer (4). The alpha ray detector has the advantages of high detection rate, easy integration and good radiation resistance, and can be used for detecting alpha rays in nuclear power.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and in particular relates to an alpha-ray scintillator detector, which can be used in the field of alpha-ray ionizing radiation detection. Background technique [0002] Detectors can be broadly classified into gas detectors, scintillator detectors and semiconductor detectors. Scintillation detectors have the advantages of high detection efficiency and large sensitive volume. Although its energy resolution is not as good as semiconductor detectors, it has strong adaptability to the environment. In particular, the timing performance of organic scintillators and the internal counting ability of liquid scintillation have their unique advantages. As such, it remains one of the most widely used radiation detectors. [0003] Traditional Si, GaAs and other materials have low thermal conductivity, low breakdown voltage, low power density, and poor radiation resistance. Therefore, in order to ...
