Scientific paper

Signal-decay functions dependent on diode material and geometry have been generated by exposures of cooled photovoltaic diode (PVD) arrays to 25 nsec bursts of 1-2 meV gamma radiation. An effort is made to formulate a diode transient-response model able to correlate PVD transient decay behavior with diode design parameters, and thereby furnish a basis for the design of PVD arrays exhibiting the desired characteristics. The experimentally observed decay functions may have been associated with charge-carrier transient production and subsequent diffusion into the p-n junctions; the use of a charge-carrier thermal-diffusion model therefore appeared appropriate, and was subsequently found to produce voltage decay results in agreement with test data.
