Description
In this project, we aim to fabricate PIN structure-like diodes for radiation detectors using Boron Nitride (BN). This fabrication is done by performing lithography and metal deposition processes on a Cubic Boron Nitride (cBN) of around 200 nm in thickness layer on top of a boron doped diamond substrate. The main goal is to create the most efficient and affordable alpha particle—and ideally neutron—detector in a radiation setting. Thus, making more accessible radiation detectors that can be more easily produced and disposed of, as well as minimizing the size of conventional detectors.
