Description

The silicon pixel and strip sensors are required to work up to the fluences of $¥geq$1$¥times$10$^{16}$ n/cm2 and $¥geq$1$¥times$10$^{15}$n/cm2, respectively, for the high luminosity upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC). This requires a high sensor bias voltage of 1000 V applicable to cope with the radiation damage in the silicon bulk. For planar sensors, the distance to the edge and multiple guard rings are important parameters to withstand such high voltage while a minimum inactive space in the edge is also important. The protection of the sensor, especially the AC coupling insulator, against an accident of beam splash is also to be considered to operate the sensors in the high luminosity machine. We evaluate this with a punch-through-protection (PTP) structures. We have fabricated test diodes using p-bulk with various edge distances (slim-edge diodes), with single to triple guard structures(multi-guard diodes), and with variousPTP structures. Thesesamples were irradiated with 70 MeV protons to the fluences of 5$¥times$10$^{12}$ up to 1$¥times$10$^{16}$ n/cm2.Through this fundamental study we have determined the required edge space, evaluated the relevance ofthe multiple guard to suppress the microdischargeonset and the effectiveness of the PTP structures.
