Title
Standard Test Procedures for High-Purity Germanium Crystals for Radiation Detectors

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.

Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1993

Scope:

This standard applies to the measurement of bulk properties of high-purity germanium as they relate to the fabrication and performance of germanium detectors for gamma rays and x rays. Such germanium is monocrystalline and has a net concentration of fewer than 10¹¹ electrically active impurity centers per cm³ , usually on the order of 10¹⁰ cm^–3. Test and measurement procedures for fabricated germanium detectors are given in IEEE Std 325-1986 and IEEE Std 759-1984.

Keywords:

radiation detectors
high-purity germanium (HPGe)
