    This paper analyzes the effect of X-ray irradiation on the electrical properties of Pt-doped p-n diode. X-ray energy irradiated on Pt-doped P-N diode with 70 keV with time 205 sec. After irradiations, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics and carrier degeneration lifetime (τ<inf>g</inf>) were investigated. The results show that the leakage current is slightly increased after the diodes were exposed X-ray and affect higher degeneration carrier lifetime. The effects after X-ray irradiation indicated that the defects of the diode have been changed. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications Switzerland.

    Diode leakage current consists of diffusion (I<inf>d</inf>) and generation current (I<inf>g</inf>), which is strongly sensitive to the residual defect density. These defects can be studied by activation energy (E<inf>a</inf>). Therefore, this paper presents a method for calculating activation energy of silicon p-n junctions from volume generation current. It combines temperature-dependent current-voltage (I -V) and capacitance- voltage (C-V) measurements of diodes. The I<inf>g</inf> can be found from the volume leakage current by subtraction of the volume diffusion current, which is calculated while the depletion width is zero. The activation energy (E<inf>a</inf>) is derived from slope of an Arrhenius plot of I<inf>g</inf>. To derive the correct slope the temperature dependence of the depletion width, which is obtained from the corrected volume capacitance has been applied. The E<inf>a</inf> profile below junction has been shown. The lower E<inf>a</inf> value has been found near the junction, which may relate to the junction implantation. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.
