Introduction
Project: fabricate a p-type strip detector with small gain Similar signal before and after irradiation
• Multiplication occurs at low bias voltage• Gain should be limited between 2 and 10:
- Avoid Crosstalk- Avoid exceeding the dynamic range of readout
electronics• Capacitance should not increase significantly
- Higher capacitance Higher noise

DRAWBACK: If N+ and P diffusions are performed with the same mask, a premature breakdown is expected due to the curvature of the junction
• N+ diffusion should overlap P diffusion One extra level of Mask Optimisation of the overlap size
• It should work after irradiation

Conclusions and Applications1. We have shown several new designs to enhance
the multiplication process.2. If detector will work many tests must be done:
uniformity, stability, reproducibility etc.....3. A PAD detector with small gain has been fabricated
following some of the procedures described in this work.4. A run containing the discussed designs is being
fabricated for subsequent characterisation.5. Test uniformity with test beam or laser with Alibava
Applications:- Radiation Hard Detectors- Tracking Detectors- Charge multiplication permits the fabrication of thinner detectors
