Abstract :
We present the results of a study of Hall-type magnetic field semiconductor sensors, based on monocrystalline whiskers and InSb thin films under harsh radiation conditions created by high-energy neutron irradiation up to the fluence of F=3.1·1016 n·cm-2 in the reactor IBR-2 and up to the fluence of F= 1·1018 n·cm-2 in reactor LVR-15. Optimal parameters of sensors´ semiconductor materials, ensuring maximum stability under these radiation conditions, were determined.
