  1. Radiation Monitoring Technologies for the LHC • Active Radiation Monitors • RadFETs; • OSLs; • p-i-n diodes; • Passive Radiation Monitors Federico Ravotti (TS-LEA-CMS) Maurice Glaser (PH-TA1-SD)

  2. Active Radiation Monitors RadFETs Build-up of charge in MOSFETs SiO2 layer (Ionizing Dose)  (integrating measurement). p-i-n diodes Bulk damage in high r Si-base (particle fluence)  (integrating measurement). Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) Charge buildup in sensitive material detrapped by IR stimulation (Ionizing Dose)  (instantaneous measurement). LHC Exp. RadMon Working Group 06/04/2004

  3. RadFETs General • e-/h+ pair generation; • e-/h+ pair recombination; • e- (~psec) / h+ (~sec) transport; • hole trapping; • Interface state delayed buildup. g responses for different tox Build-up of charge in SiO2 increase of the p-MOS Threshold Voltage  integrated Dose Measurement Sthreshold ~ 1 cGy; S decreasing over ò. Sub-linear Responses LHC Exp. RadMon Working Group 06/04/2004

  4. RadFETs Details • MOS exposed in “zero bias” mode; • (2-wires only readout, bigger dynamic range) • Long-distance readout of Vth after IDS bias (seconds time-scale); • Operation at MTC: if T ~ constant, correction it is not needed; • Good reproducibility of the results  producer selection. DVth= ¦ (particle type, energy, incidence angle, ..); DVth= ¦ (packaging) in neutron field.  Care has to be taken in the choice of the proper calibration & packaging for a neutron/HEP enriched radiation environment! LHC Exp. RadMon Working Group 06/04/2004

  5. RadFETs at CERN g-ray calibrations (“zero bias” mode) from producers & measured at CERN Bare die chips ~ 1-2 mm2 dimension ! LHC Exp. RadMon Working Group 06/04/2004

  6. RadFETs Instabilities • “Read-time” instability (“Drift-up”) during readout, small error (< 5 %) avoided by fixing the readout protocol. • Trapped charge annealing prompt time-scale (i.e. hours), can induce big errors especially at LDR (> 20 % in a few hrs). • Interface states generation delayed time-scale (i.e. years), can strongly affectthe devices long-time behaviour. Devices have to be selected on the basis of their annealing behaviors  Isochronal Annealing LHC Exp. RadMon Working Group 06/04/2004

  7. RadFETs Isochrones Regular behaviours • Scaling annealing tÛ annealing T; • Annealing periods at increasing T; • Charge annealing is oxide (i.e. manufacture) dependent; • Simple and quick way to identify not suitable behaviours; • Informations about charge spectrum in SiO2. Data from CERN & CEM2 - Montpellier Not suitable behaviours LHC Exp. RadMon Working Group 06/04/2004

  8. OSLs General (collaboration between CERN and CEM2 – Montpellier University) • e-/h+ pair generation and trapping; • Infrared stimulation (800-1500 nm); • Visible emission (500-700 nm) µ Dose; 24 GeV/c protons (IRRAD1) After L.Dusseau Material used at CERN: SrS doped The readout completely reset the sensitive material ! Linear response (< 100 Gy) Sthreshold = 100 mGy; Sdependent on readout electronics. LHC Exp. RadMon Working Group 06/04/2004

  9. OSLs Details • Radiation independent response (X, g, p, p, e, ..); • OSL materials characterized with off-line measurements (test bench); • Readout process takes 10-15 seconds; • Very low fading at room temperature (to be verified); • Pure OSL does not suffer radiation damage; OSL Test bench • n-OSL tested for the first time: first campaign with 5 mm2 samples performed in 2 different neutron environments. LHC Exp. RadMon Working Group 06/04/2004

  10. Neutron-Sensitive OSLs 1 OSLs with enhanced neutron-sensitivity: 10B(n,a)7Li  Thermal neutrons 1H(n,p)1H  Fast neutrons OSL pure OSL+PE OSL+B OSL+PE+B • The pure OSL material is sensitive to the Ionizing radiation only; • The n-OSLs show a 20-times increased sensitivity. • Boron doping affects fading behaviour ?

  13. p-i-n diodes General • Displacement damage in high r Si-base; • Macroscopic Effects: • Resistivity increase µF (forward bias); • Leakage current increase µF(reverse bias); • Forward bias operation: • Fast current pulse (~ms), VF on-line readout over long-distances (2-wires); • Sensitivity = ¦ (w ): • w =1.2 mm  S ~ 1 mV / 108 cm-2 ; Frange = 108 ÷ 1012 cm-2 (Feq) • w = 0.3 mm  S ~ 1.5 mV / 1010 cm-2; Frange = 1012 ÷1014 cm-2 (Feq) • Commercial diodes BPW34F characterized in 2003.
