  7. Radiation Damage in Silicon Sensors RD50 Defect /Material Engineering of Si • Bulk damage due to NIEL (non-ionizing energy loss) • Change ofeffective doping conc. (change in full depletion bias voltage) ; • Increase of the leakage current (contributes tothe noise) ; • Decrease of charge collection (affects the detector performance) ; Surface damage due to IEL (ionizing energy loss) -Generatesaccumulation layer between the strips, due to positive charge enhancement in the silicon oxide (affects interstrip capacitance -noise factor, breakdown behavior) Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy

  8. RD50 approaches to develop radiation harder tracking detectors RD50 To understand the factors that generate radiation damage and their effects : • Simulation of defect properties and kinetics; • irradiations with different particles at different energies; • understand the long-term annealing effects and the microscopic defects that generates these effects ; • different process technologies; • different silicon manufacturers ; • different thicknesses 300, 200, 150, 100, 50 µm ; • silicon rich in Oxygen: DOFZ, CZ, MCZ, Epitaxial sensors ; Oxygen dimer & hydrogen enriched Silicon; • influence of processing technology ; • other type of sensors like : thin detectors (Silicon-On-Insulator SOI technology), p-type material (n+ in p), 3D and semi 3D detectors , strixels detectors; cost effective detectors !!!

  9. RD50 approaches to develop radiation harder tracking detectors RD50 (Mara Bruzzi,4th Trento Workshop on Advanced Detectors, 17 February 2009) Standard for particle detectors Used for pixel detectors “New” material • DOFZ silicon - Enriched with oxygen on wafer level, inhomogeneous distribution of oxygen • CZ/MCZ silicon - high Oi (oxygen) and O2i (oxygen dimer) concentration (homogeneous) - formation of shallow Thermal Donors possible • Epi silicon - high Oi , O2i content due to out-diffusion from the CZ substrate (inhomogeneous) - thin layers: high doping possible (low starting resistivity) • Epi-Do silicon - as EPI, however additional Oi diffused reaching homogeneous Oi content Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy

  10. Impact of defects on Detector properties RD50 Cluster related hole traps as source for long term annealing I. Pintilie, E. Fretwurst, G. Lindström APL 92, 2008 • WODEAN project (initiated in 2006, 10 RD50 institutes, guided by G.Lindstroem, Hamburg) • Defect Analysis on irradiated samples performed with the various tools available inside the RD50 network (DLTS, TSC, TCT, etc.); • Identify defects (energy levels in the band gap) responsible for Trapping, Leakage Current, change of Neff and longterm/reverse annealing ; TSC spectra on neutron irradiated samples EPI-DO and MCz, for different annealing time at 80oC. Cluster related hole traps H(116K), H(140K) and H(152K) (not present after γ-irradiation) are observed in neutron irradiated n-type Si diodes during 80oC annealing. Concentrations (delimited by the peak surface) are increasing with annealing time therefore cluster related hole traps contribute to long term/ reverse annealing ; direct correlation with C-V measurements at room T.

  12. Mixed irradiations: protons and neutrons RD50 • It is not straightforward that damage produced by two different irradiation particles adds together ; • The annealing behavior of MCz-n shows that: • - Positive space charge is introduced by charged hadrons; • -Negative space charge is introduced by neutrons -> Compensation of the effects (space charge) in mixed irradiation field and consequent reduction of Vfd ; • Also the evolution of defects after irradiation might be different owing to different ratio of point defects and clusters defects; • | Neff| ~|gc,pΦeq,p + gc,nΦeq,n| For FZ Similar introduction rate of stable defects gc,p and gc,n result in almost linear increase of the Neff with eq. fluence RD50 Status report Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy

  13. Mixed irradiations: protons and neutrons RD50 For Cz The different sign of introduction rate of stable defects gc,p and gc,n leads to reduction of Neff with eq. fluence for n-type, (as expected for neutrons only, but not for pions that show a strong type inversion). For p-type show an increase, but slightly at high fluence -> strong polarization of the detector (meaning the balance between positive and negative space charge regions turns in favour of positive space charge ) RD50 Status report Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy

  14. Mixed irradiations: protons and neutrons RD50 RD50 Status Report 2008 The evolution of Vfd of mixed (neutrons and protons) irradiated detectors during long term annealing confirm the results. MCz n-type, Vfd decreases and increase afterwards -> shows the behaviour typical for detector with predominantly positive space charge ; MCz p-type, Vfd increases but with a lower rate. The long term annealing of MCz is delayed Before irradiation Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy

  16. Charge multiplication for p-type RD50 I.Mandic et al. NIM A 603 (2009) 263-267; for p-type material strip detectors irradiated with neutrons up to 1 x1016 n/cm2 300 µm 140 µm • measurements (taken at -20oC) were limited by instability caused by the leakage current increase ; • calculated and measured leakage current coincide, but not for higher fluences ; • The high bias voltages are still below the Vfd (calculated from the introduction rate of stable acceptors) so the detectors were partially depleted, only ; • Simulations were done, calculating the charge generation by a MIP in similar structure considering the effective trapping time teff for e- and holes, 1/teff (e and h) = βe,h x Φ and the results underestimate the exp. values; Possible conclusion: the electric field is so high at highly irradiated detectors and very high bias voltage that appears an effect of multiplication of charge carriers Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy

  17. Charge multiplication for EPI-material RD50 CCE as a function of bias voltage forn-type and p-type EPI diodes after proton irradiations(Cz-substrate)J.Lange at al. 14th RD50 workshop Freiburg 2009 • Almost saturation for low fluences at high voltages • n-type: Stronger increase for high fluences (avalanche effects) p-type: approximately linear increase for Feq≥2.7x1015 cm-2 Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy

  18. 300 µm n-in-p Micron sensors G. Casse, 14th RD50, Freiburg 5-7 June 2009. 24GeV/c protons irradiated COLD, all but the 3.1E15 cm-2 series RED: irradiated with 24GeV/c protons Other: 26MeV protons Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy 18

  19. 140 and 300 mm n-in-p Micron sensors after 1x1016 neq 26MeV p G. Casse, 14th RD50, Freiburg 5-7 June 2009. Evidence for multiplication? Or other effect, like field dependent de-trapping? Even after heavy irradiation it is possible to recover the entire ionised charge. Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy 19

  20. 3-D detectors design RD50 Gain: Decoupling of detector thickness and distance for charge collection: column electrodes are etched into the sensor and doped ; Shorter distance between electrodes: lower depletion voltage, lower trapping Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy

  21. 3-D detectors design RD50 [ U. Parzefall et al.,”Silicon microstrip detectors in 3D technology for the sLHC”, doi:10.1016/j.nima.2009.03.122 ] FBK-IRST (Trento) and CNM (Barcelona): First step was production of 3D-STC (single type column) detectors The columns only from one side and one doping type, not completely penetrating, charge collection is slower and less (than planar detectors) due to the low electric field. 3D-DDTC (double-sided, double type column) but still not fully penetrating ; Column overlap determines the performance. 3D-STC and 3D-DDTC 0.9 x 1015 neq/cm2 Test beam results ..

  22. Conclusions-recommendations for SLHC RD50 • Outer Layers (R>20cm, F<1015neq/cm2) • – p-type silicon microstrip detectors show good results • collected charge >10000e- (300μm) at 500V after F=1015 neq/cm2 ; • no reverse annealing in CCE ; • MCz could be considered; • MCz has improved performance in mixed fields due to compensation of n and p damage ; • Innermost Layers (R<20cm, F~1016 neq/cm2) • active thickness reduced due to trapping ; • thin planar silicon still an option ; • 3D detectors good option, but technology has to be improved; Otilia Militaru, on behalf of RD50, RD09 Conference, Italy
