Abstract [eng] Wide bandgap AlGaN is one of the most promising materials for the fabrication of radiation hard, double-response particle detectors for future collider facilities. However, the formation of defects during growth and fabrication of AlGaN-based devices is unavoidable. Furthermore, radiation defects are formed in detector structures during operation at extreme conditions. In this work, study of evolution of the proton-induced luminescence spectra and short-circuit current has been simultaneously performed during 1.6 MeV proton irradiation. GaN and AlGaN (with various Al concentrations) epi-layers grown by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition technique and Schottky diode structures have been examined. Variations of spectral and electrical parameters could be applied for the remote dosimetry of large hadron fluences.
