Silicon samples of n-type have been irradiated with electrons in the range 1.5 – 27 MeV and different fluences. The Mott cross section as function of silicon recoils kinetic energy revealed that the threshold for the production of cluster related defects is 1.2 keV. For the characterization of the radiation induced defects the Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC) and Deep Level Transient...

New possibilities in the field of silicon characterization (low-temperature PL spectroscopy and low-temperature FTIR) at CiS are presented.
Furthermore recent results on investigations regarding a defect, which appears due to electron or photon injection and degrades the charge carrier lifetime in boron doped silicon, are shown. The defect is known since the 1970s. First it was found to...

The maximum Si-recoil energy is strongly dependent on the electron energy, reaching values at e.g. 30 MeV, which are also specific for MeV neutron irradiation. A systematic investigation of the damage on the electron energy could therefore reveal a tool to distinguish between point and cluster effects, see report given ba Roxana Radu. Supporting calculations are presented here. Recoil energy...

High energy particle bombarding creates both point defects and clusters of defects within the target material. We model such a cluster of defects in silicon crystal as a few nanometer size region of randomly displaced ions which may be understood also as an aggregate of vacancy and interstitial defects. The electronic states within the cluster and its environment are calculated using density...

Simulations of silicon sensors and extraction of parameters from (edge-)TCT measurements rely on the knowledge of a number of material parameters. One of them is the drift velocity for electrons and holes as function of electric field and temperature in high-purity silicon. So far the information on drift velocities for <100> silicon is quite limited. Therefore, <111> results are typically...

Measurements have shown a significant position dependency of CCE for charged hadron irradiated MSSDs. When this is reproduced by Synopsys TCAD simulation using non-uniform 3-level defect model (R. Eber tuned proton model supplemented by shallow acceptor level close to detector surface) the phenomenon is seen to be dependent of the concentration of the shallow acceptors and the oxide charge at...

In order to address the expected radiation damage problems in the future generations of colliders, there have been constant efforts to understand the basic mechanism of radiation damage and its effects on the Si sensor properties.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is planned to be upgraded to High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) by 2023. At the same time, the ATLAS inner tracker will be replaced by an all silicon tracker. During HL-LHC running, strip detectors in the inner tracker will have to withstand radiation doses up to $10^{15} neq/cm^{−2}$ . As a result of the radiation damage, the Lorentz angle of the strip sensors is...

A HVCMOS sensor (HVCMOS2FEI4) was investigated before the irradiation with Edge-TCT. Key properties of the charge collection in p substrate were determined by different analysis methods. Good agreement between the measured and given substrate resistivity was found. The measurements revealed that the major contribution to the measured charge comes from the movement of carriers by diffusion and...

We evaluate the long term evolution of the charge multiplication effect found in some sensors. This procedure is intended to test operation under realistic LHC conditions, such as exposure to extreme bias voltages for many days, bias voltage cycling, and running at very low temperature. We aim to understand if charge multiplication may be usefully relied upon for HL-HLC operation, or if it...

The ATLAS Forward Physics (AFP) project plans to install 3D silicon pixel detectors 210 m away from the interaction point and very close to the beamline at a radius of about 2-3 mm. This implies the need of slim edges in the order of 100 µm for the sensor side facing the beam to minimise the dead area. Another challenge is an expected non-uniform irradiation of the pixel sensors with high...

For n-type devices commonly used dielectrics, such as silicon oxide and nitride, work well and they are radiation resistant. For p-type devices we used alumina (Al2O3) for this purpose. Our earlier radiation tests revealed its potential weakness for low ionizing doses. In this work we have...
