Introduction • Getting signals from the silicon microstrip sensor at SLHC • Expected fluence • At r=30cm • LHC: ~2x1014 1MeV-neq/cm2 (700fb-1) • ~8.6x1014 1MeV-neq/cm2 (3,000fb-1) or • ~1.7x10151MeV-neq/cm2(6,000fb-1) • Radiation damage by charged hadrons and neutrons • Dominance of radiation-induced acceptor states • A silicon bulk mutates to p-bulk • High full-depletion voltage, thus partially depleted operation • Start from the p-bulk and read out n-strips, n-in-p sensor • Continuation of an early study[STD2@Hiroshima, S.Terada et al., NIMA 383(1996) 159-165] STD6 at Carmel, Sep 11-15, 2006

Strip Isolation - No Strucutre (Zone1) • Confirmation of isolation of “No Structure” zones in pre-irradiation • p-MCZ isolates with Vbias>50V • p-FZ does not up to 1000V • note: p-FZ does isolate with p-stop structures Cf. p-stops do isolate in p-FZ STD6 at Carmel, Sep 11-15, 2006
Discussion • We have found that p-MCZ does not require the structure to isolate the n-strips • Little electron accumulation layer • Hot spots are in the strip side • If there is electron accumulation layer in silicon under the Si-SiO2 interface, it shorts and the high field is at the p-stop edge. This shorting is why we need an isolation structure. • Very little voltage is required to isolate the n-strips for the voltage to the AC field plate • The hypotheses • 1stly because of <100>, I.e., less dangling bonds • Lower density than <111> • 2ndly because of low resistivity (~700 Ωcm) • Partially compensating the built-in positive fixed charges • Post irradiation • Still valid • Possible candidate sensor for SLHC • n-in-p in the industrial p-MCZ material (~700 Ωcm) • Issues • Initial low CCE at lower bias voltages • Compensated with higher S/N of electronics in initial phase? • Variation of density of electron accumulation layer • An isolation structure, e.g., low doping common p-stop (HPK preference?), for assureance? • Full depletion voltage and CCE up to 6000fb-1?

Conclusions • We have fabricated n-in-p microstrip sensors in p-FZ and p-MCZ industrial wafers, with various n-strip isolation structures. • Compared the performance of null and post-irradiation • 0.7x1014, and 0.7x1015 1MeV-neq/cm2 fluences • Edge/bias structure holding 1000V has been established. • Full depletion voltages are evaluated with C-V and laser CCE methods. • p-FZ started at ~150V and went up ~600V at the high fluence. • p-MCZ starts at ~1000V, decreased to ~500V at low fluence and increased to ~800V at high fluence • CCE’s of p-FZ and p-MCZ were all nearly equal at the bias voltage of >800V in null and post-irradiations. • Microdischarge occurred at n-strip side in p-MCZ • in contrast to p-stop side of n-in-n sensors • No MD was observed in the AF structure (floating) up to 1000V • Specially in p-MCZ, I.e., no isolation structure in silicon • All isolation structures isolated n-strips with high bias voltages. • AF in p-FZ isolated the n-strips with gate voltage >50V • AF (floating) in p-MCZ isolated the n-strips STD6 at Carmel, Sep 11-15, 2006
