Studies of radiation induced defects continue to be relevant as they find an ever greater application due to the increasing radiation doses to which semiconductor detectors are exposed. Efforts of figuring out the changes due to high radiation doses provide the fundamental motivation for this type of experiments.
The PIN diode is described, and a developmental disorder caused thereto by 60Co source gamma quanta ranging from 100 kGy to 1 EV1Gy. The calibration curve shows the effect of disturbances on the volt-ampere characteristics as a function of the close of gamma radiation.
The results are compared with earlier published data
