Wide bandgap semiconductor detectors

Oral

This talk reviews the development of 4H-SiC Low Gain Avalanche Detectors as a next step in wide bandgap sensor technology. It will outline the material advantages of 4H-SiC including radiation hardness, thermal stability, and high breakdown strength, and then focus on the ongoing LGAD program led by the Czech collaboration with onsemi together with partners within DRD3 WG6.
