16. Summary of The Scientific Contributions of Prof. V. N. Bhoraskar:

 

Prof. V. N. Bhoraskar has carried out work in various fields including radiation damage in semiconductors and nuclear reaction analysis, using electron, neutron and heavy ion beams produced through accelerators. He has designed and fabricated a number of equipment and used in his research work. In addition, he has also developed a few very important techniques involving radiation, which have been used for basic research work in the fields such as semiconductor devices, analysis of explosive class materials, satellite systems, etc. The major scientific contributions made by Prof. V.N.Bhoraskar using electrons, neutrons and heavy ions are described below, in brief.

 

(I) ELECTRONS:

(a)    For the first time in the country, assembled and put into operation a one 7 MeV electron accelerator called Race-Track Microtron. Developed all supporting equipment and subsystems using indigenously available components, as far as possible.

(b)     Based on controlling the lifetime of minority carriers through electron irradiation, he developed a method as an alternative to the gold-diffusion process, commonly used in manufacturing silicon-based devices. This method is now adopted by BHEL, Bangalore for reducing the Qrr of Thyristors from 6000 mc to around 2500 mc using the Race-Track Microtron facility. The turn off time of diodes can also be reduced from 300 ns to 150 ns, without much increment in the forward voltage drop.

(c)     The depth distribution of the heavy ion induced defects in silicon was studied by measuring the lifetime of minority carriers with source of excitation as 1 MeV pulsed electron beam.

(d)     For ISRO Bangalore, under a research program, developed an experimental set-up and studied the irradiation effects of 1 MeV electrons on space quality, (i) MOS devices (ii) electronic components (iii) polymers and (iv) solar cell. Solar cells after exposure to 1 MeV electrons showed degradation in power, which was higher than expected. In MOS devices the effect of stored charge in oxide layer was studied.

(e)     Produced bremsstrahlung radiation by bombarding 6 MeV electrons on a tungsten target and characterized using Compton Scattering Technique.

 

 

 

(II) NEUTRONS:

(a)    Designed and assembled one 14 MeV neutron generator in his laboratory. This consists of a r.f. ion source, 200 KeV ion accelerator, pneumatic transfer system, controls system, neutron detectors, radioisotope handling systems, etc.

(b)     Measured cross section for formation of short lived (ms) metastable states nuclei, such as Zr-90 m, Pb-207 m, Y-90 m, etc at 14 MeV neutron energy.

(c)    Studied 14 MeV neutron induced fission of U-238 using glass detector and measured angular distribution of the fission fragment.

(d)     Based on neutron-induced reactions and prompt gamma-rays measurements, developed a method for detection of landmines. Analyzed explosive class materials and grafted polymers with nuclear reaction induced by 14 MeV neutrons.

(e)     At Dhurva rector, BARC, Mumbai developed a neutron depth profile system.

(f)      Using the radiation assisted technique, diffused boron and lithium in polymers at room temperature and measured their depth distribution with NDP technique. Studied diffusion characteristics of boron in metallic glasses annealed at different temperature.

 

(III) HEAVY IONS:

(a)    He was showed that the energy deposited by 50 to 90 MeV energy silicon, oxygen, boron and lithium ions through electronic energy loss process can induce defects or changes in the surface region of the irradiated crystalline silicon, porous silicon and gallium arsenide. He characterized the semiconductor surfaces using techniques such as the low angle X-ray diffraction, the optical reflectivity and the lifetime of minority carriers.

(b)   For the first time, he has shown that by reducing the lifetime of minority carriers in selected region of silicon diode, the turn-off time of the diode could be reduced. By inducing defects near the junction with 40-60 MeV lithium and boron ions, the reverse recovery time of diodes could be reduced from 3000 ns to 100 ns. In these diodes the forward voltage drop increases to 1.0 volt from it’s initial value of 0.85 volt

(c)    For the first time, he studied the depth distribution of heavy ion induced defects in silicon by etching the sample, in step, and measuring the lifetime of minority carriers with a pulsed electron beam. The peak of the defect profile was found to coincide with the projected range of heavy ion in the irradiated silicon sample.

 

 

17. Work Carried out Under I.U.C.D.A.E.F. Indore Projects:

 

(1)    Designed and fabricated one computer control Goniometer system for Neutron Beam experiments. This Goniometer will be a part of the Neutron beam line, being installed in the Dhurva Reactor Hall, BARC, Mumbai. This Goniometer system is made using all the indigenously available components in the Department of Physics, University of Pune, Pune.

 

(2)    A facility for the Neutron Depth Profiling for low Z elements (B, Li, N) using thermal neutrons is established in the Dhurva Reactor Hall, BARC, Mumbai. This facility is in operation for the last five years. The depth profiling of boron and lithium in polymers and metallic glasses samples have been studied.

 

(3)    Used ion beam facility of I.G.C.A.R., Kalpakkam for elemental analysis using Nuclear Reaction Analysis techniques.

 

(4)    Used heavy ions of the Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Calcutta, for studying irradiation effects of energetic heavy ions on electronic components.

 

(5)    Used Ion Accelerator of I.O.P., Bhubeneshwa, for studying the elemental depth profiling and R.B.S. studies.
