Abstract

The charge collection efficiency of a diode with a retrograde well was estimated using focused ion beam irradiation at 400 keV and 2 MeV. The retrograde well was found to effectively suppress a collection of charge carriers created by energetic particles. The charge collection efficiency of the diode with the retrograde well was ~ 25 % lower than that with the conventional well when 400 keV ~ 2 MeV protons were irradiated normal to diodes. This result was in good agreement with device simulation.
