Comprehensive Modeling of Silicon Microstrip

چکیده
In this work, the application of numerical device simulation to the analysis of high resistivity silicon microstrip detectors is illustrated. The analysis of dc, ac and transient responses of a single-sided, dc-coupled detector has been carried out, providing results in good agreement with experimental data. In particular, transient-mode simulation has been exploited to investigate the collection of charges generated by ionizing particles. To this purpose, an additional generation term has been incorporated into the transport equations; the motion of impact-generated carriers under the combined action of ohmic and diiusive forces is hence accounted for. Application to radiation tolerance studies is also introduced.

Physical modeling of silicon microstrip detectors: influence of the electrode geometry on critical electric fields
Abstract In this paper, a computer-based analysis of AC-coupled silicon microstrip detectors is presented. The study aims at investigating the main geometrical parameters responsible for potentially critical effects, such as early micro-discharges and breakdown phenomena. The adoption of CAD tools allows for evaluating the actual field distribution within the device, and makes it possible to id...

This paper presents a novel implementation of an electromagnetically coupled patch antenna using air gap filled substrates to achieve the maximum bandwidth. We also propose an efficient modeling technique using the FDTD method which can substantially reduce the simulation cost for modeling the structure. The simulated results have been compared with measurement to show the broadband behavio...
