Improving Forward Current Characteristics of Diode by X-Ray Irradiation

Article Preview

Abstract:

These papers investigates the effect of X-ray on forward current characteristics of diode. The forward current of diode after X-ray irradiation energy 40 keV at the exposure time ranging 5, 10 second was increased, while 15 and 20 second was decreased. X-ray causes changing of the electrical characteristics of diode. Series resistance is the main factor for analyze on forward current characteristics. From the results, X-ray can improve performance of diode at the exposure time for 5 and 10 second.
