Abstract
Knowledge of the radiation-induced conductivity (RIC) in dielectrics is of great importance for the understanding of the charge dynamics in such materials during electron beam irradiation. In previous studies of the charge buildup, the RIC in the irradiated region was assumed to be constant in space and time (1). In 1976 Matsuoka et al. (2) improved the so-called box model introducing experimental depth-dose and charge-deposition profiles which reflect the effect of the range straggling of the incident electrons. Monte Carlo simulations (3,4) of the elastic and inelastic scattering effects during electron bombardment verified the experimental data of the space dependence of the RIC. In 1980 Gross et al. (5) showed that the time dependence of the RIC cannot be neglected, and replaced the prompt conductivity by an exponential buildup of the RIC after the onset of irradiation.
