Modeling of nuclear radiation detection with MEMS

In this paper we aim to analyze the possibility of detecting nuclear radiation with a microdetector MEMS based. A part of our work is related to modeling the response of some materials like silicon to the interaction with nuclear radiation in particular with alpha radiation. Changing of mechanical, thermal, electrical properties of materials can be used for the development of small and little expensive detectors. As a second aspect we investigate the measurable effects of nuclear radiation on electronic devices in particular to a PIN diode.
