	Steve Bellinger BS-ME 2005; Steven Bellinger is working on an NSF funded project to develop high-spatial-resolution and high-efficiency pixelated semiconductor neutron detectors for a the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Steven has developed an etching process to produce thousands of microscopic perforations in Si substrates. He also developed a process to backfill the perforations with neutron reactive materials. These detectors have been able to yield thermal neutron detection efficiencies ranging from 18% to over 30% as compared to common He-3 gas filled detectors. Advisor: Douglas S. McGregor
