Radiation Damage Studies of Silicon Microstrip Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various types of large area silicon microstrip detectors were fabricated for development of radiation-tolerant detectors operational in the LHC ATLAS SCT. The detectors were irradiated with 12-GeV protons at KEK to fluences of 1.7×10 and 4.2×10 protons/cm. Irradiated samples include n-on-n detectors with 4 kΩ cm bulk resistivity and p-on-n detectors with 1 kΩ cm and 4 kΩ cm bulk resistivities. Four patterns of p-stop structures are configured in the n-on-n detectors. Although Hamamatsu fabricated most of the detectors, included are p-on-n detectors by SINTEF, and those fabricated in modified process by Hamamatsu. The performances after irradiation are compared through the probability of creation of faulty coupling capacitors, C-V characteristics, charge collection curves, and total leakage current. The p-on-n detectors are similar to n-on-n detectors in these performances, and are operational in the ATLAS radiation environment.

p-Bulk silicon microstrip sensors and irradiation
Anticipating the requirement for highly radiation-tolerant silicon microstrip sensors suitable for the SLHC application, we have fabricated n-in-p microstrip sensors in p-FZ and p-MCZ industrial wafers which we then irradiated with 70MeV protons. Studies were made of the leakage current, onset of microdischarge, body capacitance, charge collection efficiency, and n-strip isolation at the fluenc...

A new upgrade project was started with the goal of a complete replacement of the existing silicon detector. In that context, several investigations on the radiation ha...
متن کاملSilicon Microstrip Detectors in High Luminosity Application
The development of silicon microstrip detectors for high luminosity application at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is described. The technical choices are most severely restricted by the anticipated radiation damage. The arguments are presented which led to the selection of the base line detectors for the silicon tracker of the LHC detector ATLAS: sandwiches of singlesided detectors of n-strips...
