Silicon wafer is very important accuracy make use semiconductor device substrate. In this research, for the uniformity dopant density distribution obtained to Neutron Transmutation Doping on make use Si in P Doping study work. In this research. we irradiated neutron on FZ silicon wafers which had high resistivity (1000~2000 ${\Omega}$cm), HANARO reactor was utilized resistivity changes due to observed, the generation of neutron irradiation on point defect analyzed, point defect on resistivity changes inquire into the effect. Before neutron irradiation theoretical due to calculated 5 ${\Omega}$-cm, 20.1 ${\Omega}$-cm for HTS hole and 5 ${\Omega}$-cm, 26.5 ${\Omega}$-cm, 32.5 ${\Omega}$-cm for IP3 hole. After neutron irradiation through SRP measurement the designed resistivities were approached, which were 2.1 H-cm for HTS-1, 7.21 ${\Omega}$-cm for HTS-2, 1.79 ${\Omega}$-cm for IP-1, 6.83 ${\Omega}$-cm for IP-2, 9.23 ${\Omega}$-cm for IP-3, respectively. Also after neutron irradiation resistivity changes due to thermal neutron dependent irradiation hole types free.

It is mandatory to measure accurately the dose distribution and the total absorbed dose of fast neutron for putting it to the clinical use. At present the methods of measurement of fast neutron are proposed largely by American Associations of Physicists in Medicine, European Clinical Neutron Dosimetry Group, and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements. The complexity of measurement, however, induces the methodological differences between them. In our study, therefore, we tried to establish a unique technique of measurement by means of measuring the emitted doses and the dose distribution of fast neutron beam from neutron therapy machine, and to invent a standard method of measurement adequate to our situation. For measuring the absorbed doses and the dose distribution of fast neutron beam, we used IC-17 and IC-18 ion chambers manufactured by A-150 plastic(tissue-equivalent material), IC-17M ion chamber manufactured by magnesium, TE gas and Ar gas, and RDM 2A electrometer. The magnitude of gamma-contamination intermingled with fast neutron beam was about 13％ at 5cm depth of standard irradiated field, and increased as the depth was increased. At the central axis the maximum dose depth and 50％ dose depth were 1.32cm and 14.8cm, respectively. The surface dose rate was 41.6-54.1％ throughout the entire irradiated fields and increased as the irradiated fields were increased. Beam profile was that the horn effect of about 7.5％ appeared at 2.5cm depth and the flattest at 10cm depth.

In routine testing, the radioactive neutron sources are particularly suitable for producing standard. neutron fields. The ISO TC-85 has proposed neutron reference radiation for the calibration of neutron measuring devices used for radiation protection purposes. Radiation laboratory of KSRI has installed a standard irradiation facility using $^{252}Cf$ and $^{241}Am-Be$ sources for calibrating personal dosimeters according to the recommendations given in ISO TC-85. In this study, correction factors for calibration related to neutron scattering and anisotropy are obtained by experiments with commercial rem meter for demonstration purposes.

In the paper it is proposed to use Ge(Li) detectors in determining fast neutron spectra. The spectrum at 691.4 KeV which is produced by the internal conversion of Ge nuclei being broadened by the coincident ionization energy deposited by recoil Ge atoms is proposed to be analysed in estimating the fast neutron spectra.

$^3He$ gas has been used for neutron monitors as the neutron converter owing to its advantages such as high sensitivity, good ${\gamma}$-discrimination capability, and long-term stability. However, $^3He$ is becoming more difficult to obtain in last few years due to a global shortage of $^3He$ gas. Accordingly, the cost of a neutron monitor using $^3He$ gas as a neutron converter is becoming more expensive. Demand on a neutron monitor using an alternative neutron conversion material is widely increased. $^{10}B$ has many advantages among various $^3He$ alternative materials, as a neutron converter. In order to develop a neutron converter using $^{10}B$ (actually $B_4C$), we calculated the optimal thickness of a neutron converter with a Monte Carlo simulation using MCNP6. In addition, a neutron converter was fabricated by the Ar sputtering method and the neutron signal detection efficiencies were measured with respect to various thicknesses of fabricated a neutron converter. Also, we developed a 2-dimensional multi-wire proportional chamber (MWPC) for neutron beam profile monitoring using the fabricated a neutron converter, and performed experiments for neutron response of the neutron monitor at the 30 MW research reactor HANARO at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The 2-dimensional MWPC with boron ($B_4C$) neutron converter was proved to be useful for neutron beam monitoring, and can be applied to other types of neutron imaging.

A TL pellet for a neutron dose measurement (KCT-306) by embedding a $^6Li$-compound into a $CaSO_4:Dy$ phohphor was developed based upon the technical information of KCT-300. The KCT-300 is an another kind of $CaSO_4:Dy$ TL detector shich was developed at KAERI, in which small amounts of $NH_4H_2PO_4$ have been emvedded as a binding material. This paper presented the optimized manufacturing condition of KCT-306 and compared its sensitivity with that of the commercialized neutron TL pellets. $CaSO_4:Dy$ Phosphor with grain size ranging less than $45{\mu}m$ are used for the KCT-306. The optimum $CaSO_4:Dy$ TL phosphor, $^6Li$-compounds and P-compound as the binding material are determined as 20-40wt%, 50-70wt% and 20wt%. The TL pellet combination of our KCT-306/KCT-300, TLD-600/TLD-700 and TLD-600H/TLD-700H(Harshaw) have been irradiated in the neutron/gamma mixed fields from a $D_2O$ moderated $^{252}Cf$ neutron source. The KCT-300, TLD-700 and TLD-700H were used at the same time as gamma ray discriminators in the neutron/gamma mixed fields. It was found that the neutron/gamma response ratios of KCT-306/KCT-300, which were developed in this study, were approximately 4 times higher than those of the commercial TLD-600H/TLD-700H.

For fast neutron spectroscopy in MeV region, a recoil proton telescope detector was designed and constructed so as to increase in detection efficiency without appreciable deterioration in energy resolution by adopting a special type of recoil proton radiator which is a combination of a ring-shaped vertical radiator and a cone-shaped horizontal radiator at a certain geometry. A neutron stopper was built in the detector system to minimize the background due to direct exposure of the Si(Li) detectors to primary incident neutrons. The detection efficiency and the energy resolution calculated at various neutron energies and geometries are given and these characteristics of the detector system were tested by 14.1 MeV neutrons. As the calculation predicted, the relative detection efficiency in case of the combined radiator system is almost 2.2 times of that for a single, ring-shaped vertical radiator system. The calculated energy resolution is 3.7% FWHM, whereas the measured resolution was 3.9% which means resolution broadening of approximately. 30% was resulted by introducing a combined radiator system into the telescope. Increase in background less than 40% was also observed.
