Fig. 1. (a) Device structure evaporated ⁶LiF; (b) photograph of nine neutron detectors mounted in the PCB with Au-plated contact by 25-μm gold wires. External ring contact (Ti/Al/Ni/Au) and internal circular contact (Ni/Au) were connected to the VCC and GND of the applied voltage, respectively. The dimensions in the picture are not drawn to scale.
