Abstract

The results of investigation of n ++ p + pp + silicon detector structures manufactured from p silicon are presented. These detectors demonstrate the effect of internal amplification of a signal (with a gain of 20) with retained properties of the detector as a spectrometric device. An efficient lowering of the energy level for the detected ionizing radiation is demonstrated.
