The aim of this study is to investigate the effects on forward bias characteristics of neutron radiation on various commercially available silicon and GaAs diodes. The diodes were irradiated using the Pneumatic Transfer System (PTS) facility in Malaysian Nuclear Agency with neutron fluences up to 10...
