Influence of the Thin-Film Ag Electrode Deposition Thickness on the Current Characteristics of a CVD Diamond Radiation Detector

Abstract

Background: We investigated the current characteristics of a thin-film Ag electrode on a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond. The CVD diamond is widely recognized as a radiation detection material because of its high tolerance against high radiation, stable response to various dose rates, and good sensitivity. Additionally, thin-film Ag has been widely used as an electrode with high electrical conductivity.
