N2 - This paper is concerned with the characterization of new detectors fabricated from a-Si:H films deposited at high rates through the dilution of SiH4 in Helium. Rates up to ten times (5.5 μm/h) that of the standard technique are obtained. We have investigated the electrical characteristics -depletion voltage, residual space charge density- of the helium diluted material and compared them to that of the standard material. Finally, the response of detectors, fabricated from both materials, to 5.5 MeV alpha particles are compared.
