Detector activities at HIP

• HIP has been appointed by Finnish government to coordinate the Finnish participation in CERN experiments.

• The main activity is to participate to the upgrade program of CMS experiment

• We participate in two CERN R&D collaborations: RD39 and RD50.

• We have our own detector fabrication process at Micro and Nanofabrication Centre of Helsinki University of Technology.

• Detector system tests in particle beams and by cosmic rays utilizing e.g. FinnCRack and Silicon Beam Telescope (SiBT) located at CERN H2 area.

• Bonding facility in HelsinkiEsa Tuovinen loading MCz-Si wafers into oxidationfurnace at the Microelectronics Center of HelsinkiUniversity of Technoly, Finland.

R&D Challenge of LHC Upgrade

• Luminosity increase by factor of 10 is foreseen after the 1st phase of the LHC experiments.

• Extensive R&D is required because

1. Leakage current (Ileak) increases 10 X

- Increased heat dissipation- Increased shot noise

2. Full depletion voltage (Vfd) will be >1000V

3. Trapping will limit the Charge Collection efficiency (CCE). - CCE at 1×1015 cm-2 ≈ 50% (strip layers of S-LHC

Tracker)- CCE at 1×1016 cm-2 ≈ 10-20% (pixel layers of S-

LHC Tracker)

Why Cz-Si ?

• Cz-Si available in larger diameters

• Lower wafer cost

• Better compatibility with advanced CMOS processes

• Oxygen brings significant improvement in thermal slip resistance

• Oxygen gives significant radiation hardness advantage in

terms of reduced incease of Vfd.

* No demand for high resistivity Cz-Si -> No availability* Price for custom specified ingot 15,000 € - 20,000 €* Now RF-IC industry shows interest on high resistivity Cz-Si

(=lower substrate losses of RF-signal)

Why not before ?

•When under depleted, the 1. Peak dominates•The 2. Peak takes over when bias is increased

What really matters ?

-What happenes to cluster resolution after certain dose ? >> Beam test for strip detectors needed


13

Why to make p-type detectors ?

• No type inversion.• Collecting junction remains on the

segmented side (higher E-field due to the weighting field).

• Charge collection is dominantly electron current >> less trapping.

• Vfd can be tailored by Thermal Donors (TD) in MCz-Si>> CCE geometrical factor is improved.

• Single sided process.

Why to go low temperatures ?

*Treshold for sharp current increase VT increases with respect of fluence*VT can be affected by temperature

at 500V and 200K•Is 200K feasible for future Tracker upgrades ?


18

Summary

•CCE at 3×1015 cm-2 is about 25%. Thus, MCz-Si is feasible for strip layers but not for pixel barrel.

•The CCE is limited by trapping and elevated Vfd.

•Material/defect engineering of Sidoes not provide any improvementfor Ileak

•Current injection (CID) provides 2Xhigher CCE at 200K.

•Cooling is a demanding challenge.

•MCz-Si shows better radiation hardness against protons than Fz-Si materials. No improvement against neutron and no difference in leakage current.

•CCE can further be improved by implementing n+/p-/p+ structure and compensate Vfd by TDs .
