Formation of the Irradiation Zone for Neutron Transmutation Doping Using the Pool-Type Research Reactor

Abstract

The neutron transmutation doping (NTD) of silicon is usually used for producing different electronic devices like thyristors, VLSI, detectors, etc. This article focuses on the formation of the radiation field to create the technology for silicon NTD implementing a pool-type nuclear reactor. The works includes the analytical consideration of the conditions for achieving the high radial irradiation uniformity of silicon ingots.
