摘要
We have observed conversion from p- to n-type of the base layer of n+\p\p + silicon diodes irradiated with more than roughly 5 x 10(16) cm(-2) 1 MeV electrons. Annealing for 15 min at 200 degrees C results in a recovery of p-type conduction in diodes in which type conversion had been induced. Solar cells which employ the same diode structure are severely degraded by irradiation with more than 10(16) cm(-2) 1 MeV electrons and show only a weak infrared response after irradiation with 10(17) cm(-2) 1 MeV electrons, consistent with the creation of an n+\n\p structure due to type conversion.
