The diode is encapsulated in a polymer plastic of 1.2 mm thickness and it was connected in the photovoltaic mode to the input of a Keithley 617 electrometer. The current response of the device was performed using a 60Co-gamma source, with a dose rate of about 2.94 kGy/h. The diode’s response as a function of the gamma-ray doses in the interval of 5 Gy to 100 Gy has been investigated and the results have demonstrated a linear behavior in the whole range.openAccesscobalt 60dose ratesdose-response relationshipsdosimetryelectrometersgamma radiationgamma sourcesphotocurrentsphotodiodessiliconTexto completo de eventohttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-7881-7254https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8940-9544
