Thin window Si/Li/ detectors for the ISEE-C Telescope

Special detectors have been developed for the NASA ISEE-C Cosmic Ray Telescope. These are Li-drifted silicon detectors 5 mm thick and 1500 sq mm area with the criteria that thickness variations on the whole area be less than plus or minus 10 microns and that the Li-diffused contact dead-layer not ex...

Description
Summary:Special detectors have been developed for the NASA ISEE-C Cosmic Ray Telescope. These are Li-drifted silicon detectors 5 mm thick and 1500 sq mm area with the criteria that thickness variations on the whole area be less than plus or minus 10 microns and that the Li-diffused contact dead-layer not exceed 15 microns. Techniques used to fabricate and test these detectors are presented.
