Problems solved by technology

In this PN junction structure, in order to prevent the ohmic contact electrode from blocking incident particles, the ohmic electrode must be overloaded in one corner of the device, but this will cause the irradiated carriers far away from the ohmic electrode to be recombined during the transport process, and Incident particles must pass through the SiO at the surface 2 The passivation layer and part of the P-type layer cause energy loss and reduce energy conversion efficiency
[0007] The nuclear battery disclosed in Chinese patent CN 101325093A adopts a Schottky junction structure, which
