摘要：
We fabricated and characterized 4H-SiC Schottky diodes as a spectrometric detector of alpha particles. Two types of blocking contacts based on Ni/Au and Pt/Au were used. The total thickness of prepared blocking contacts was about 15 nm to minimize the influence on alpha particles energy resolution. Current-voltage characteristics of two types of detectors were measured at room temperature and compared. As a source of alpha particles we utilized triple radioisotope of Pu-239 Am-241 Cm-244. Detected alpha particles had energies from 5.1 MeV up to 5.8 MeV. The spectrometric performance of detectors with two types of blocking contacts were evaluated and compared.
