Due to internal charge multiplication, Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD) enable to produce rather thin (~ 50 µm) silicon sensors with a relatively low operating voltage. A typical P-type LGAD consists of n+-p-p–p+ layers with p-well formed by deep diffusion of boron into p– layer. Another way of p-well formation by using an epitaxial process may lead to lower sensitivity of the breakdown...
