Electronic dosimeters based on solid state detectors

In-plant calibration and use of power transistors for process control of gamma and electron beam facilities

“…Among various dosimetric methods silicon devices, as radiation monitors, were already considered since mid1960s both at low doses, as in the field of radiation therapy, and at high doses as for industrial radiation processes (Mc Laughlin et al, 1989b;Barthe, 2001). In a previous work (Fuochi et al, 1999) the possibility of using a low cost, small size commercial bipolar power transistor as a routine dosimeter was investigated.…”

Feasibility Study of Semifloating Gate Transistor Gamma-Ray Dosimeter

“…The advantages and defects above of SFGT dosimeter make it possibly better suited to some high dose rates applications, such as the external radiation therapy of medicine applications where the typical dose rate is a few gray per minute, as well as the sterilization of industrial applications [14], and so on. And further study would be carried out to deal with the effect of dark current.…”

MEMS high-doses radiation sensor

“…The another problem here, is the post-process storage of nuclear wastes and reliable controlling of potential geologically or environmentally induced leakages. According to the todays state of art, high-doses of radiation (above 10 kGy) may be estimated post factum by family of passive thermo-, radio-and photoluminescence indicators or hydrogen pressure dosimeters [2,3] but in situ measurements have been up-to-date obtained only for low or medium doses (below 10 kGy) by solid-state MOS based sensors [4]. So, the problem of high-dose radiation measurements is still open and important.…”
