Charge recombination lifetime in a silicon wafer is directly proportional to the high energy particle (HEP) irradiation dose of a device. It is widely recognized that the dose of irradiation can be directly related to the density of defects. However, the microscopic picture of defects is highly inhomogeneous with several kinds of defects clustered along the path of HEPs. Electron and hole...

Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) as well as Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC) technique are powerful tools for the characterisation of e.g. radiation induced deep level defects in silicon detectors. These techniques, that are based on the analysis of relaxation as well as emission processes after carrier injection, provide information about defect concentrations, thermal activation...

Silicon sensor leakage currents are often used as a diagnostic tool for monitoring the bulk damage caused by non-ionizing energy loss. One of the key inputs to interpreting leakage current data is the effective band gap energy, which is used to correct for temperature variations in the current. Using dedicated temperature scans in 2017 and 2018, the effective band gap energy is measured for...

Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) are silicon detectors with modest internal gain (up to ~50) that allows the sensor to be very thin (20-50 um). LGADs are characterized by an extremely good time resolution (down to 17ps), a fast rise time (~500ps) and a very high repetition rate (~1ns full charge collection). In a broad array of fields, including particle physics (4-D tracking) and photon...

The performance of Ultra-Fast Silicon Detectors (UFSD) is compromised by hadronic irradiation which removes the acceptors in the thin layer below the junction responsible for the gain. This effect is measured in several different UFSD after irradiation with protons with energy of 70 MeV (CYRIC), 800 MeV (LANL) and 24 GeV (CERN) and compared to the same sensors irradiated with neutrons at IJS....

Future particle trackers require formidable position (~5 microns) and time (~ 10 ps) resolutions. In traditional silicon sensors, better position resolution implies smaller pixels and, consequently, much higher channel count and smaller area available for the electronics. This combination is at odd with the requirement of also measuring accurately the timing information, a request... -

Therefore, commercial CMOS processing lines offering high production throughput at comparatively low costs represent an attractive option for such large-area detectors.
