The performance of the sample of 75 n-in-p HPK miniature 1cm*1cm sensors developed by ATLAS Collaboration for LHC upgrade [Y. Unno, et.al., Nucl. Inst. Meth. A636 (2011) S24-30] with different punch through structures, BZ4A-D, and with three different ion concentrations of 2E12, 4E12 and 1E13 ion/cm^2 of the P-stop and P-stop + P-spray separation is studied before and after irradiation with the aim to select the most suitable P-stop ion concentration and punch through structure as a protection against beam splashes – protection of coupling capacitorThis report is a preliminary compilation of measured characteristics.

-Irradiation of the sample of miniature sensors

-Bulk characteristics, IV & CV measurement

-Interstrip capacitance and Interstrip resistance

-Punch Through Protection and PT voltages

The micro-strip silicon miniature sensors of 1cmx1cm (strip length 0.8cm) are ATLAS07 Series fabricated by Hamamatsu Photonics (HPK) using 6” (150 mm) process technology . The baseline is p-type float zone silicon with crystal orientation <100> and having thickness of 320 μ. Sensors are single-sided with AC coupled readout n-type strips which are biased through polysilicon resistors. One hundred readout strips with pitch 74.5 μ are electrically isolated by a common and floating p-implant (‘p-stop’ isolation)

Interstrip capacitance is measured by 3 probes.

C interstrip depends strongly on frequency.Capacitance is measured at 1MHz

For Vbias<Vfd the values of C interstrip depend on the P-stop & P-spray ion concentration . After irradiation Cinterstrip is a constant without any structure for low bias voltage.(J.B., RD50,Liverpool)There is narrow deep minimum of Cint at Vbias =-4V for P-stop+P-spray isolation.

The inter-strip capacitance, Cint, is constant for bias voltages higher than respective full depletion voltages and Cint does not depend in this region on an ion concentration andthe punch through protection structures within ±20fF.Possible time dependence of Cint and an influence of relative humidity is in progress.

Punch Through Protection Structures

11/15/2012

A protection of AC coupling capacitors against the beam splashes should ensure special structures, BZ4A,B,C on the HPK ATLAS07 mini-sensors.A beam splash generates a spike of voltage across the AC coupling insulator.When the distance between the bias rail and the n-strip implants is appropriate,this voltage between the bias rail and the n-strip implant ends can be limited. This distance is 20 µ and is used in all special structures BZ4A,B,C and sensor BZ4D

Sensor BZ4D has no special structure and it is used for comparison with structures BZ4A, B and C.

Page 13: Punch  through protection of  heavily  irradiated ATLAS07  mini-  sensors . Status report

Reff=dVtest/dItest, where Vtest is an applied voltage (Uappl) to DC pad and Itest is an current between DC pad and the bias ring. Rpt is supposed to be parallel to Rbias: 1/Reff=1/Rbias+1/Rpt.

Punch-Through Voltage is the Test Voltage for Rbias=Rpt, i.e. for Reff=Rbias/2.PT voltage is evaluated at bias voltages 100, 300, 500, 700 and 900V for PT structures Z4A-D

-Punch through voltage dominantly depends on P-stop ion concentration for all punch through structures.-PT voltage for P-stop+P-spray isolation is considerable higher than for P-stop isolation at same p-dose 2E12 ion/cm^2-Differences among PT voltages for each structure BZ4A-D are small for all concentrations, several volts only-PT voltage increases with applied bias, for concentration 1E13 ion/cm^2 is observed nearly saturation for Vb>500V.-PT voltages are smaller than 50V, i.e. they are significantly below the hold-off voltages of the coupling capacitor which are typically tested to 100V.There is practically no difference (1-2 V only) of PT voltages measured on FAR END and NEAR END.

-PT voltage increases with fluency and ion concentration

-At high fluency 2E15 neq/cm^2 and all tested ion concentrations the superiority belongs to the structure BZ4A with suppressed PTV with respect to structures BZ4B and BZ4C. BZ4D without any special structure reaches highest PT voltages.

-PT voltages for P-stop ion concentration 1E13 ion/cm^2 exceeds safety level of 50V even for BZ4A and fluency 4E14 neq/cm^2 and therefore concentration 1E13 ion/cm^2 is not suited to the protection against beam splashes

Punch Through Voltage irradiated

-At fluency about 4E14 neq/cm^2 and lower, an efficiency of special structures diminishes

A comparison of PT voltages measured onspecial structure BZ4A with “no structure” BZ4D for various ion concentration at fluency 2E15 neq/cm^2.

PT voltage dependence on the P-stop ion concentration has shown a small differencebetween 2E12 and 4E12 ion/cm^2 and alsofor some structures (A and D) the PTV hasminimum at 4E12ion/cm^2.

Since one can expect for higher p-stop dose the higher inter-strip resistance,the 4E12 ion concentration is preferable.(Rint will be measured soon).

Summary

11/15/2012

Non-irradiated sensors ATLAS07 with p-stop isolation and with different ion concentrations were successfully operating up to 1000V, no onset of micro-discharges was observed.On other side, irradiated sensors to fluency 4E14 neq/cm^2 behave differently and an onset of breakdowns is observed above already Vbias ~800V. For higher fluency, 2E15 neq/cm^2, no micro-discharges were found.

Punch through voltage dominantly depends on the P-stop ion concentration for all punch through structures, irradiated and non-irradiated samples and PTV increases with fluency, p-dose and applied bias.

PT voltages for P-stop ion concentration 1E13 ion/cm^2 exceeds safety level of 50V even for BZ4A and fluency 4E14 neq/cm^2 and therefore concentration 1E13 ion/cm^2 is not suited to the protection against beam splashes

At high fluency 2E15 neq/cm^2 and all tested ion concentrations the superiority belongs to the structure BZ4A with suppressed PTV with respect to structures BZ4B and BZ4C. The BZ4D without any special structure reaches highest PT voltages.

Protection structure BZ4A made with P-stop concentration of 4E12ion/cm^2 ensures that PTV will be smaller than 50V, (i.e. significantly below the hold-off voltage of the coupling capacitor -typically ~100V), for fluency up to 2E15neq/cm^2.

Interstrip capacitance in this table was evaluated for Vbias=Vfd+10V

The inter-strip capacitance, Cint, is constant for bias voltages higher than respective full depletion voltages and Cint does not depend in this region on an ion concentration andthe punch through protection structures within ±20fF.Possible time dependence of Cint and an influence of relative humidity is in progress.
