Radiation Effects of Protons and Electrons in Silicon Diffused-Junction Detectors

Diffused n-on-p silicon particle detectors were irradiated with 1-Mev electrons, and with 31-Mev and 8.2-Mev protons. The detector capacitance was observed to increase with electron irradiation and to decrease with proton irradiation. A physical interpretation is given in terms of defect energy levels known to be introduced in silicon by irradiation. Defect ionization states are taken to be characteristic of the space-charge region, rather than of bulk silicon. The relation to other studies of damage in semiconductor particle detectors is pointed out, considering differences in the types of detector and irradiation used. The significance of these results is discussed for detector applications where the damage threshold is exceeded.

Thermoelectric elements diffusion-bonded to tungsten electrodes

Solid-state diffusion process bonds lead telluride and lead telluride-tin telluride thermoelectric elements to tungsten electrodes. The resulting bond is nonmagnetic and has high strength and low electrical and thermal resistance. This method is also used with tantalum electrodes.

Diffusion technique stabilizes resistor values

Reduction of the contact resistance stabilizes the values, over a broad temperature range, of resistors used in linear integrated circuits. This reduction is accomplished by p-plus diffusion under the alloyed aluminum contacts.

Diffusion bonding makes strong seal at flanged connector

Copper strip seals a high pressure fluid system connector so that it is insensitive to relaxation of the bolt loads. The copper strip is diffusion bonded to the surfaces of the connector flange by application of high pressure and temperature.

Differential expansion provides pressure for diffusion bonding of large diameter rings

External pressure band is used to bond aluminum alloy collars to large diameter, stainless steel rings. The band contracts while cooling and exerts pressure on the joint between the silver plated surfaces of the ring and collar which expand toward the band. This diffusion bonding by differential expansion minimizes aluminum deformation.

Vapor diffusion electrode improves fuel cell operation

Vapor diffusion type fuel cell electrode presents a nonwetting barrier to the liquid feedstocks so they may contact the electrolyte only in the vapor state. Thus, it effects feedstock mixing with the electrolyte at the electrolyte/catalyst interface but prevents feedstock decomposition and catalyst poisoning from liquid mingling.
