Abstract :
The effect of 5 MeV α particles, 30 MeV 12C ions and 70 MeV 63Cu ions on a large area silicon P+N diode is simulated. Computer simulation is performed in 3D axisymmetric geometry with the device simulator ACCES. The effect of high LET particles with short track is compared to the effect of low LET particles with long track. The diffusion component of the collected charge is shown to be important for the three particles in this large area 10 V reverse-biased diode
