GaAs Photodetector for X-ray Imaging

Abstract

We describe briefly a cheap and non polluting technique to grow epitaxial GaAs layers several hundred microns thick in a matter of hour. Detectors consisting of a p(+)/i/n(+) structure have been realised with these layers and we present their characteristics obtained from current-voltage, capacitance-voltage measurements as well as their response versus the energy and flux of X-rays.
