  • Abstract
    A preliminary study of electrical properties and detection performance of semi-insulating InP-based particle detectors operated at room temperature is presented. Schottky barrier detectors with the Schottky or P+ back contacts exhibit a charge collection efficiency up to about 60% and energy resolution of 7.5% (FWHM) for 5.48 MeV α-particles. The influence of basic material parameters and detector electrodes is discussed with respect to further improvement of SI InP-based particle detectors.
