Abstract

Diamond PIN diodes with an approximately 5-μm thick i-layer and coated with a thin boron nitride (BN) layer have been tested with a thermal neutron beam flux of 4.4×106 n/s/cm2. Pulse height spectra showed features associated with α and 7 Li fission products, consistent with the thickness of the BN layer. An irradiation test with a 1 MeV neutron equivalent fluence of 1015 n/cm2 showed no significant alteration in the count rate of the tested detector.
