- Summary
- We report on AlGaAs/GaAs double heterojunction photodiodes designed and fabricated to be resistant to the effects of ionizing-radiation. The work described here includes new results comparing optimized, AlGaAs/GaAs photodiodes grown with two different growth processes: liquid phase epitaxy and molecular beam epitaxy. These devices were processed with similar photolithographic masks and exposed to high energy neutrons, electrons, and photons. Electrical and optical characterizations were completed before and after each irradiation; degradation trends are reported. 10 references.
