A study was made of the influence of γ-radiation (60Co source) on the photoelectric parameters of InSe diodes based on the direct optical contact p-InSe/n-InSe. The penetrating radiation produces defects of acceptor type in the base material, but does not lead to any significant degradation of the energy barrier. The irradiation even improves the parameters of InSe photodiodes, which was manifested by an increase in both the open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current.
