Paper Abstract

The quantum efficiencies of a Si pnn+ and a GaAsP Schottky photodiode have been measured in the photon energy range from 5 to 1000 eV. The efficiency is generally much higher than that of photoemissive detectors. The performance of the Si diode is affected by soft X-ray exposure, but for the Schottky diode a stable quantum efficiency is observed over the entire spectral range making this device attractive for many applications.
