The Electric Field in Irradiated Silicon Detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
The electric eld distribution inside heavily irradiated silicon particle detectors is deduced using observations of particle and MIP signals. In these detectors particle signals are observed for both p and n side illumination even when the detector is only partially depleted . The observations indicate that the electric eld distribution within the detector has the contribution expected from a uniform space charge, as in unirradiated detectors, together with a strong, short range, local electric eld in the vicinity of the p electrode.

Field engineering by continuous hole injection in silicon detectors irradiated with neutrons
The electric field in irradiated silicon diodes was modified by manipulating the occupation of deep levels. This was achieved by continuous injection of holes using light illumination. Effective trapping probabilities and space-charge concentrations were measured in this operating mode. The bias voltage needed to establish the electric field in the whole detector volume, charge collection, powe...

We report on the investigation of the radiation damage induced by neutron irradiation on both nand p-type Magnetic Czochralski silicon pad detectors by the Thermally Stimulated Currents (TSC) technique. Detectors have been irradiated with fast neutrons in the range 10 14 -10 16 n/cm 2 . Priming conditions have been studied in detail in order to investigate the residual electric field due to fro...
متن کاملInvestigation of Damage Induced Defects in Silicon by TCT
Neutron and Co gamma irradiated silicon detectors have been investigated using time resolved current transients (TCT) induced by nanosecond laser pulses. Measurements were performed as function of operating temperature (100 K-300 K) and bias voltage. Illumination was done on both the juntion and ohmic side, allowing the investigation of the free charge carrier transport for electrons respective...
متن کاملType inversion in irradiated silicon: a half truth
Charge collection measurements performed on heavily irradiated p-spray dofz pixel sensors with a grazing angle hadron beam provide a sensitive determination of the electric field within the detectors. The data are compared with a complete charge transport simulation of the sensor which includes signal trapping and charge induction effects. A linearly varying electric field based upon the standa...
متن کاملDegradation of charge sharing after neutron irradiation in strip silicon detectors with different geometries
The aim of the CERN/RD50 collaboration is the improvement of the radiation tolerance of semiconductor detectors for future experiments at high-luminosity colliders. In the RD50 framework, evidence of enhanced signal charge in severely irradiated silicon detectors (diodes, segmented planar and 3D devices) was found. The underlying mechanism was labelled charge multiplication. This has been one o...
