RD50 Motivation for R&D on Radiation Tolerant Detectors: Super - LHC

• LHC upgrade LHC (2007), L = 1034cm-2s-1

(r=4cm) ~ 3·1015cm-2

Super-LHC (2015 ?), L = 1035cm-2s-1

(r=4cm) ~ 1.6·1016cm-2

• LHC (Replacement of components) e.g. - LHCb Velo detectors (~2010) - ATLAS Pixel B-layer (~2012)

• Linear collider experiments (generic R&D)Deep understanding of radiation damage will be fruitful for linear collider experiments where high doses of e, will play a significant role.

RD50 The CERN RD50 Collaboration http://www.cern.ch/rd50

Collaboration formed in November 2001 Experiment approved as RD50 by CERN in June 2002 Main objective:

Presently 264 members from 52 institutes

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!)

Radiation Damage – III. CCE (Trapping)


RD50 Summary: Radiation Damage in Silicon Sensors

Two general types of radiation damage to the detector materials:

Bulk (Crystal) damage due to Non Ionizing Energy Loss (NIEL) - displacement damage, built up of crystal defects –

I. Change of effective doping concentration (higher depletion voltage, under- depletion)

II. Increase of leakage current (increase of shot noise, thermal runaway)

III. Increase of charge carrier trapping (loss of charge)

Surface damage due to Ionizing Energy Loss (IEL) - accumulation of positive in the oxide (SiO2) and the Si/SiO2 interface – affects: interstrip capacitance (noise factor), breakdown behavior, …

Impact on detector performance and Charge Collection Efficiency (depending on detector type and geometry and readout electronics!)

Signal/noise ratio is the quantity to watch Sensors can fail from radiation damage !

Same for all tested Silicon

materials!

Influenced by impurities

in Si – Defect Engineeringis possible!

Can be optimized!

RD50

Influence the defect kinetics by incorporation of impurities or defects

Best example: Oxygen

Initial idea: Incorporate Oxygen to getter radiation-induced vacancies prevent formation of Di-vacancy (V2) related deep acceptor levels Observation: Higher oxygen content less negative space charge (less charged acceptors)

One possible mechanism: V2O is a deep acceptor O VO (not harmful at room temperature) V VO V2O (negative space charge)

Almost independent of oxygen content: Donor removal “Cluster damage” negative charge

Influenced by initial oxygen content: I–defect: deep acceptor level at EC-0.54eV (good candidate for the V2O defect) negative charge

Influenced by initial oxygen dimer content (?): BD-defect: bistable shallow thermal donor (formed via oxygen dimers O2i) positive charge

RD50 Epitaxial silicon

Layer thickness: 25, 50, 75 m (resistivity: ~ 50 cm); 150 m (resistivity: ~ 400 cm) Oxygen: [O] 91016cm-3; Oxygen dimers (detected via IO2-defect formation)

EPI Devices – Irradiation experiments

Only little change in depletion voltage

No type inversion up to ~ 1016 p/cm2 and ~ 1016 n/cm2

high electric field will stay at front electrode!reverse annealing will decreases depletion voltage!

Explanation: introduction of shallow donors is bigger than generation of deep acceptors

RD50 Epitaxial silicon - Annealing

50 m thick silicon detectors:- Epitaxial silicon (50cm on CZ substrate, ITME & CiS) - Thin FZ silicon (4Kcm, MPI Munich, wafer bonding technique)

Thin FZ silicon: Type inverted, increase of depletion voltage with time Epitaxial silicon: No type inversion, decrease of depletion voltage with time

No need for low temperature during maintenance of SLHC detectors!

CCE before irradiation 100 % with particles and MIPS

CCE after irradiation (example) material produced by CREE 55 m thick layer neutron irradiated samples tested with particles

Conclusion: SiC is less radiation tolerant than

expected

RD50 Comparison of measured collected charge on different radiation-hard materials and devices

In the following: Comparison of collected charge as published in literature

Be careful: Values obtained partly under different conditions irradiation temperature of measurement electronics used (shaping time, noise) type of device – strip detectors or pad detectors

This comparison gives only an indication of which material/technology could be used, to be more specific, the exact application should be looked at!

Remember: The obtained signal has still to be compared to the noise

RD50 Signal Charge / Threshold Do not forget: The signal has still to be compared to the noise (the threshold)


RD50 Summary – Radiation Damage

Radiation Damage in Silicon Detectors Change of Depletion Voltage (type inversion, reverse annealing, …)

(can be influenced by defect engineering!) Increase of Leakage Current (same for all silicon materials) Increase of Charge Trapping (same for all silicon materials)

Signal to Noise ratio is quantity to watch (material + geometry + electronics)

Microscopic defects Good understanding of damage after -irradiation (point defects) Damage after hadron damage still to be better understood (cluster defects)

CERN-RD50 collaboration working on: Material Engineering (Silicon: DOFZ, CZ, EPI, other impurities,. ) (Diamond) Device Engineering (3D and thin detectors, n-in-p, n-in-n, …)

To obtain ultra radiation hard sensors a combination of material and device engineering approaches depending on radiation environment, application and available readout electronics will be best solution


RD50 Summary – Detectors for SLHC At fluences up to 1015cm-2 (Outer layers of SLHC detector) the change of the depletion

voltage and the large area to be covered by detectors are major problems.

CZ silicon detectors could be a cost-effective radiation hard solution no type inversion (to be confirmed), use cost effective p-in-n technology

oxygenated p-type silicon microstrip detectors show very encouraging results: CCE 6500 e; eq

= 41015 cm-2, 300m

At the fluence of 1016cm-2 (Innermost layers of SLHC detector) the active thickness of any silicon material is significantly reduced due to trapping.

The two most promising options besides regular replacement of sensors are: Thin/EPI detectors : drawback: radiation hard electronics for low signals needed (e.g. 2300e at eq 8x1015cm-2, 50m EPI)

3D detectors : looks very promising, drawback: technology has to be optimized

SiC and GaN have been characterized and abandoned by RD50.
