  1. Radiation Damage Studies of Vertex Detector CCDs • First studies of radiation damage to spare CCD ladders of the SLD VXD3 were reported in • IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. 47, 1898 (2000) • Now we are renewing these studies with • passive annealing investigation (of old damage) • post-mortem measurements of damage in VXD3 itself • new exposures with electrons Nikolai Sinev and Jim Brau University of Oregon April 2, 2003 Jim Brau, Amsterdam, April 2, 2003

  2. Radiation Hardness MS Robbins Charge Transfer Ineff. 100 140 180 220 260 300 Temperature (K) • Surface Damage from ionizing radiation • hard to > 1 Mrad (acceptable for LC) • (however, SLD VDX3 damage!) • Bulk Damage • results in loss of charge-transfer efficiency (CTE) • ionizing radiation • damage suppressed by reducing • the operating temperature • hadronic radiation (neutrons) • damage clusters  complexes Jim Brau, Amsterdam, April 2, 2003

  3. VXD3 Experience on Radiation Damage Charge Transfer Ineff. 100 140 180 220 260 300 Temperature (K) • SLD Experience during VXD3 commissioning, • An undamped beam was run through the detector, causing radiation damage in the innermost barrel. • The damage was observed as the detector was operating at an elevated temperature (220 K). • Reducing to 190 K ameliorated the damage Jim Brau, Amsterdam, April 2, 2003

  4. Neutron Damage • Background estimates for the next Linear Collider • have varied from 107 n/cm2/year to 1011 n/cm2/year • - 2.3 x 109 n/cm2/year (Maruyama) • Expected tolerance for CCDs in the range of 109-10 • Increase tolerance to neutrons can be achieved through • improve understanding of issues and sensitivity • engineering advances • flushing techniques • supplementary channels • bunch compression & clock signal optimization • other ideas Jim Brau, Amsterdam, April 2, 2003

  5. Theory of Bulk Damage The most important radiation damage in CCDs caused by heavy particles is displacement in the bulk silicon. 1 MeV neutrons can transfer up to 130 keV to PKA. Only 15 eV is needed to displace an atom from the lattice. Example of simulated tracks of knock-out silicon atoms from a primary knock-out energy of 40 keV. (V.A.J.Van Lint, NIM A253, 453 (1987).) Vacancy (V) and interstitial silicon (I) pairs are created as a result of atom displacement. More than 90% of such pairs recombine immediately. Those which are not recombined diffuse until they form complexes of two or more vacancies (V2 or V3) or vacancy-impurity (VP, V2O and so on). Such complexes are usually not mobile. Some of them are able to bind electrons, and the bound energy for some of these is about 0.35 - 0.5 eV below the conduction band. These may act as electron traps when empty. If the bound energy is close to the conduction band, (shallow traps) the lifetime of the bound state is so short, that the trapped electron will be released quickly and re-join the charge packet before the packet passes through the trap region. In this case no charge transfer inefficiency will be introduced by the defect. Jim Brau, Amsterdam, April 2, 2003

  6. However, for the deeper levels (close to 0.5 eV below the conduction band) the lifetime of the bound state, which is: is larger than the inter-pixel transfer time , so trapped electrons are removed from the charge packet and released after the packet passes through the trap region. This leads to charge transfer inefficiency. Such inefficiency may becured, however, bycooling the CCD to a low enough temperature, that the lifetime of the bound electrons in the trap becomes very long, so that the filled traps remain occupied when the next charge packet passes. Filled trap can't capture more electrons, so this trap will not lead to charge transfer inefficiency. Theory of Bulk Damage (cont.) Jim Brau, Amsterdam, April 2, 2003

  7. R&D Plan • 1998-99 - first neutron damage study IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. 47, 1898 (2000) • 2003 - investigation of status of old irradiations (passive annealing) - study of the nature of the damage in SLD VXD3 (in progress) - exposure of test CCD ladders to moderate energy electrons (planning) Jim Brau, Amsterdam, April 2, 2003

  16. Post-mortem tests of VXD3 • Have removed VXD3 from SLD and will do measurements to establish the nature of the damage Jim Brau, Amsterdam, April 2, 2003

  17. Summary of new studies 1. Test stand for testing radiation damage of the CCDs has been fully operational for about 2 months now. 2. The 1998-1999 measurements of neutron induced radiation damage has been confirmed. 3. Some of the damage (~30%) has annealed in the 4 years, during which the CCDs were stored at room temperature. 4. We are now collecting high statistics on the damage in these detectors, after which we plan to irradiate the same CCDs with relatively high energy (tens of Mev) electrons, to compare the characteristics of damage inflicted by electrons and neutrons. We are looking for the beam to do the electron irradiation. 5. VXD3 detector has been extracted from SLD and is waiting of disassembling. Jim Brau, Amsterdam, April 2, 2003
