Abstract :
A new semiconducting coating material for microstrip gas chambers (MSGCs) has been studied: AlN. The conductivity of AlN films at room temperature varies from 10−10 to 10−12 Ω−1 cm−1 depending on the preparation conditions; it increases with temperature with an activation energy of 0.8–0.9 eV. The electron-induced secondary electron emission yield from AlN has been measured: it is about 5 at the maximum. The influence of the substrate nature and that of the film’s preparation conditions on the composition of AlN films are investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
