Abstract

In this paper, we have developed a high-sensitivity SNRD(Semiconductor Nuclear Radiation Detector) using silicon PIN photodiode. The SNRD is constructed with silicon PIN photodiode(S3590-05), preamplifier and shaping amplifier. To show the effectiveness of SNRD, nuclear radiation experiments are conducted with $\gamma$-ray Ba-133, Cs-137 and Co-60. The SNRD is different in characteristics of the energy spectrum to scintillation detectors. However, the SNRD have a good linearity on $\gamma$-ray energy and activity. The results of this paper can be applied to electronic personal dosimeter.
