A. The detector leakage current increases linearly with hadrons fluence: • =II V • fluency, Vthe detector bulk, • I =(51)10-17 Асм-1for fast neutronsat • T = +20º C(no self-annealing) • Possible solution at high hadrons fluence: • work at low temperature -(30-50)°C, detector leakage current doubles it’s value every 8 degrees; • Detectors module design required very good thermo contact between Si-sensor and cooling plate for the excluding of the heating and thermo break down /3/ 3-rd meeting CBM-MPD, 1-3 June'09

B.Decreasing of the charge collection efficiency (CCE) with increasing hadrons fluence • The CCE decreases 8%/1014 n/cm2 and does not depend on initial silicon type, extrapolation of this curve to 1015 n/cm2 give the value for signal equal 20% from initial amplitude /3/ • What to do??? • to change of Si-planes after each 5×1014 n/cm2???; • to work with (20-10)% of CCE; • to work at low temperatures and at forward bias (experience of RD39, LAZARUS effect /1/ ) 3-rd meeting CBM-MPD, 1-3 June'09
C.The detector full depletion voltage Ufd increases with hadrons fluence (after point inversion of type conductivity for n-type Si). This effect could be diminished /2, 4/ applying the oxygenated Si and low resistivity Si as a starting detectors material: CZ (MCZ) has higher oxygen concentration in crystal ingot, low resistivity material (100 – 800 Ohm cm) FZ-Si-p – no conductivity type inversion FZ-Si-(n- or p-type) + O2 during the detectors technology fabrication Remark:in the real experiments with irradiated detectors Ud>Ufd for the attainment of plato CCE=f(Ud) and max S/N 3-rd meeting CBM-MPD, 1-3 June'09

Is it an alternative to SILICON to construct a detector with large area in radiation hard environment??? Possible candidates: CVD-C, CdTe, GaAs and??? CVD-C: (-) commercial wafers with big area???, big cost, small (50-150mkm) CCLength; (+) radiation hardness!!! CdTe(CdZnTe): (-) small area of wafers (1-5 cm2); high cost (5-10 $/mm3) for mono crystal; (+) high radiation condition of policrystaline (CERN-R&D for luminosity monitor) GaAs: (-) more expensive that Si-detectors, mechanical conditions lower that Si; (+) bigger radiation hardness that Si!

n+ strips p+ stop rings DS-strip detector: n+side with p+stop ring/n+strip 3-rd meeting CBM-MPD, 1-3 June'09
DS-strip sensors need to study (surface) radiation effects on the both sides What difference between n+ and p+ sides for DS-strip sensors? • each n+ strip isolated by p+ stop ring • inter n+ strip region need bigger value of full depletion voltage in compare with bulk depletion • with over depletion increase electric field in inter n+strip region and possible break down n+ strip to p+ stop ring • detectors from difference manufactures have individual parameters (thickness of dielectric layers, density of charge in SiO2, profile of implantation layers, et al) 3-rd meeting CBM-MPD, 1-3 June'09

Conclusion: • Bulk damage effects in Si crystal are very good study and understood (big experimental data of ROSE collaboration for LHC experiments, RD48) • Surface damage effects dependent from topology and technology sensors (inter strip distance, p+ stop ring on n+ side, thickness of SiO2, et all) • DS-strip sensor need to study radiation hardness for both sides n+ and p+ before- and after point inversion (inter strip resistance, inter strip capacitance, cross talk, S/N, break down on p+ or n+ side?) • Sensors after high hadron fluence need very good thermo contact with cooling system (special design modules/ladders) 3-rd meeting CBM-MPD, 1-3 June'09
