Tunnel oxide passivating contact enabled by polysilicon on ultra-thin SiO2 for advanced silicon radiation detectors

Abstract Conventional silicon junction detectors encounter significant carrier recombination within the heavily doped p + and n + layers, as well as beneath the metal contact regions, creating the so-called “dead layers”, especially on the detector side. In this study, we present the tunnel oxide pa...
