Photocurrent of X-ray sensors made of single crystal sapphire and undoped silicon carbide under irradiation by polychromatic X-ray
摘要
The results of a study on the sensitivity of sensors fabricated from single-crystal sapphire and bulk undoped silicon carbide to X‑ray radiation with photon energies in the range of 10–80 keV are presented. The photocurrent is measured experimentally and the carrier lifetime is estimated. The photocurrent dependence on the X‑ray intensity and the sensor voltage is determined experimentally and via modeling.
