Commercially available zener diodes have been tested as “high-temperature” dosimeters. They were heated above 50°C, and irradiated with 10-Me V electron beams and 60Co γ-rays. For both radiations, the radiation-induced change in breakdown voltage of the zener diode when it is kept around 100°C have shown good linearity as a function of irradiated dose. It can be concluded from the present experiment that the zener diodes are promising candidates for dosimetry at temperatures above 50°C.
