Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate a detector that has a high neutron-to-gamma discrimination of 8.5×10 5 with a high thermal neutron detection efficiency of 39% when exposed to a high gamma-ray field of 10 9 photons/cm 2 s. The detector is based on a silicon pillar structure filled with a neutron converter material ( 10 B) designed to have high thermal neutron detection efficiency. The pillar dimensions are 50 μm pillar height, 2 μm pillar diameter and 2 μm spacing between adjacent pillars.
