We have previously fabricated B₄C and LiF neutron converter films by screen-printing. In this study, Gd₂O₃ film was prepared using Gd₂O₃ powder and acrylic binder which does not contain B for solar cell neutron dosimeter in addition to B₄C and LiF films. In the solar cell dosimeter with the Gd₂O₃ film, the induced current proportional to neutron flux was obtained, indicating that the dosimeter can be used as a neutron flux monitor.
