junction-type radiation detectors were fabricated with an InSb substrate. The detectors had 1000 times higher resistances than the ones of the previously reported Schottky-type detectors. The output pulses of the preamplifier were analyzed from the point of view of the contribution of electrons and holes. The energy spectra of Am alpha particles were measured at operating temperatures of up to 115 K. The inherent voltage of the detector was estimated.
