A low voltage (–20 V) operating high-energy (5.48 MeV) α-particle detector with a high charge collection efficiency (CCE) of approximately 65% was observed from the compensated (7.7 × 1014 /cm3) metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) grown 15 µm thick drift layer gallium nitride (GaN) Schottky diodes on free-standing n+-GaN substrate. The observed CCE was 30% higher than the bulk GaN (400 µm)-based Schottky barrier diodes (SBD) at –20 V. This is the first report of α–particle detection at 5.48 MeV with a high CCE at –20 V operation. In addition, the detectors also exhibited a three-times smaller variation in CCE (0.12 %/V) with a change in bias conditions from –120 V to –20 V. The dramatic reduction in CCE variation with voltage and improved CCE was a result of the reduced charge carrier density (CCD) due to the compensation by Mg in the grown drift layer (DL), which resulted in the increased depletion width (DW) of the fabricated GaN SBDs. The SBDs also reached a CCE of approximately 96.7% at –300 V.

ABSTRACTCVD diamond films show both at optical microscope and at SEM a quasi-columnar structure, not homogeneously distributed in the bulk which is agreed to be responsible for the relatively large charge collection lengths measured in the material. In this work, we present the first data on charge collection efficiency distributions as measured directly in the bulk by a 3 Meν proton microbeam. The results indicate that the material is really non-homogeneous, that only few columns are really connecting both electrodes and that, finally, a real connection exists between the morphological structure and the maps of collection efficiency distribution.
