Organic dosimeter
Schematic of an organic semiconductor-based device for direct detection of 5 MeV protons. The co-planar sensor is fabricated on a flexible plastic substrate by thermal evaporation of two interdigitated gold electrodes and the deposition from solution of an organic thin film of TIPGe-Pn.
