Description
Diamond is a semiconductor with outstanding material properties such as
high radiation hardness, high free carrier mobilities, very low leakage
current, and very high thermal conductivity.
Synthetic diamond is therefore a good canditate for very demanding radiation
detector applications.
The state of the art of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond detector
technology is reviewed and its
applications in several fields, such as high energy physics, radiotherapy and
nuclear fusion reactors are described.
Recent innovative developments, such as electric contact fabbrication and
front-end electronics design,
are also briefly discussed.
