•Silicon is a reliable detector technology
•Available on large scale (200 m2 CMS) by many vendors with high yield
•6’’ wafers are standard, 8’’ are coming
•Different silicon growing techniques can be exploited for sensor production
(CZ, MCz, FZ, epi-Si)
•Many different electronics read-out ASICs were developed
•Also other devices are interesting for tracking: CCD, MAPS, DEPFETs …

Silicon detectors today
Signal ~ 22500e in 300mm
C~1pF/cm
“Standard detector today” for HEP experiments (HERA (all), Belle, LEP, Tevatron)
•pitch 25 – few hundred microns
•readout strips in p+ side (for SSD) or both sides (for DSD) - around 6 cm long AC/DC coupled
•300 mm thick produced on n type-standard float zone silicon
•n-type silicon of 2-15 kWcm resistivity
•poly-silicon or FOXFET biased on the readout side
•Multi guarding structure
Physics reasons:
•superior position resolution (up to few microns), due to fine segmentation
•fast charge collection (tcol~ few ns) for 300 mm thick sensors – high rate operation
•dE/dx possible
•operational at moderate voltages

LHC – new challenge
LHC properties
Proton-proton collider, 2 x 7 TeV
Luminosity: 1034
Bunch crossing: every 25 nsec, Rate: 40 MHz
event rate: 109/sec (23 interactions per bunch
crossing)
Annual operational period: 107 sec
Expected total op. period: 10 years
Main problems of a tracker at LHC:
•Loss of efficiency
•fast electronics (high series noise)
•charge trapping (loss of signal)
•high Ubias , danger of break-down
•High power dissipation (8W/module for ATLAS-SCT)
•Need for running cool (leakage current)
•Need for storing cool to reduce Vfd increase
•Large scale – complex services and links

The CERN RD50 Collaboration
http://www.cern.ch/rd50
RD50: Development of Radiation Hard Semiconductor Devices for High Luminosity Colliders
 formed
in November 2001
 approved as RD50 by CERN June 2002
 Main objective:
Development of ultra-radiation hard semiconductor detectors for the luminosity upgrade of
the LHC to 1035 cm-2s-1 (“Super-LHC”).
Challenges:
- Radiation hardness up to 1016 cm-2 required
- Fast signal collection (Going from 25ns to 10 ns bunch crossing ?)
- Low mass (reducing multiple scattering close to interaction point)
- Cost effectiveness (big surfaces have to be covered with detectors!)
Presently 260 members from 53 institutes

Lappeenranta), Germany (Berlin, Dortmund, Erfurt, Freiburg, Hamburg, Karlsruhe, Munich), Israel (Tel

Radiation damage
Two types of radiation damage in detector materials:
 Bulk (Crystal) damage due to Non Ionizing Energy Loss (NIEL)
- displacement damage, built up of crystal defects –
I. Increase of leakage current (increase of shot noise, thermal runaway)
II. Change of effective doping concentration
(higher depletion voltage, under- depletion)
III. Increase of charge carrier trapping (loss of charge)
 Surface damage due to Ionizing Energy Loss (IEL)
- accumulation of charge in the oxide (SiO2) and Si/SiO2 interface –
affects: interstrip capacitance (noise factor), breakdown behavior, …
! Signal/noise ratio = most important quantity !

- time constant depends on temperature:

At first unexpected behavior of CCE(t)
Possible explanation:
•Increase of Vfd (not so important as electric field is still present close to electrodes)
•Annealing of electron trapping times
CONFIRMED also by simulations! The reverse annealing is not critical as for LHC!

Long strip detectors (r>60 cm)


Present technology (STFZ p+-n) pushed to the
higher radii may work – however practical
issues cold/warm during the beam-off must be
considered
Better would be n+-p type detectors (regardless
of the silicon type – neutron dominated
damage)



higher signal and possible use potentially of longer
strips to reduce # of channels and have the same
S/N
No ballistic deficit with BCT=12.5 ns
Smaller operational voltage needed and no critical
issue if Vfd>operational bias (safety)

Planar n+-p pixel detectors (r<20

•Pion dominated damage – choice of material for these detectors MCz or epi-Si!
•Detectors of some 200 mm almost ideal choice if kept warm during beam-off period
Compensation of positive space charge with acceptors during RA (always fully depleted)
Annealing of electron trapping times – smaller effect of trapping
Smaller power dissipation due to smaller leakage current and bias voltage
Smaller shot noise

the wafer's surface.
The edge is an electrode. Dead volume at the

3D n+-p pixel detectors (r<20 cm)
Pros.
•Better charge collection efficiency
•Faster charge collection (depends on
inter-column spacing)
•Reduced full depletion voltage and
by that the power
•Larger freedom for choosing
electrode configuration
DESY seminar

Cons.
•Columns are dead area (aspect ratio ~30:1)
•Spatially non-homogenous CCE
(efficiency=function of position)
•Much higher electrode capacitance (hence noise),
particularly if small spacing is desired – small drift
length
•Availability on large scale
•Time-scale and cost

The ideal detector is the one which can be depleted all the time and kept at
room temperature during beam-off periods – we are almost there!

Long strips (present p+-n cost effective or n+-p)
Short strips/pixel (n+-p on rad-hard material)
Pixel layers without innermost layer (n+-p pixels on rad-hard material)
Pixel layer at 4-6 cm (to be decided between diamond and silicon planar or 3D
pixels)
Electronics technology: all DSM-CMOS or BiCMOS (with SiGe bipolar
part) for strips
The most challenging will be engineering work (cooling, cabling,
shielding, other services)
Prospects are good, but work ahead is enormous!
