Lecture

Semiconductor Detectors: Principles and Applications

Description

This lecture covers the principles and applications of semiconductor detectors for radiation detection. Starting with the history of semiconductor detectors, the lecture explains the electronic band structure in semiconductors, charge mobility, carrier concentration, and the operation of intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductor detectors. The discussion includes the role of doping in tailoring conductivity properties, the formation of p-n junctions, and the detection mechanisms involved. The lecture also delves into the importance of charge carrier concentration, the impact of temperature on semiconductor behavior, and the detection chain for semiconductor detectors.
