摘要
We tested SiC photodiodes with Co-60 gammas, 32 MeV protons and 14 MeV neutrons. The UV-photocurrent decreased to about 50 % of its initial value at a total gamma dose of 40 kGy(Air). Nearly the same decrease was observed during proton irradiations of 9 x 10(12) cm(-2). But after a neutron fluence of 1.5 x 10(13) cm(-2) the signal was still 85 % of that before irradiation. It is shown that the decrease of the photocurrent is caused by darkening of the glass window. Some of the colour-centres could be annealed with the intense UV-light of a deuterium lamp. Furthermore hydrogen treatment of the photodiode reduces the radiation effects by about 20 %.
