WHY RADIATION HARD RADIATION DETECTORS
Silicon particle detectors are cost effective and have excellent position resolution.
Exposure of the silicon material to particle radiation causes irreversible defects that deteriorate the performance of the silicon detectors
Our approach: oxygen in silicon
Eija Tuominen 26.09.2003
WHY CZOCHRALSKI SILICON DETECTORS I
1. Radiation hardness* Oxygen increases the radiation hardness of silicon detectors* Cz-Si intrinsically contains oxygen, 1017-1018 cm-3
2. Cost-effectiveness* Cz-Si wafers are cheaper than traditional Fz-Si wafers * Large area wafers available -> possibility for large detectors -> cost-effectiveness for front-end electronics, interconnection and module assembly

WHY CZOCHRALSKI SILICON DETECTORS II
3. High oxygen concentration allows some additional benefits* Depletion voltage of detectors can be tailored by adjusting
a) oxygen concentration in the bulkb) thermal history of wafers (Thermal Donor killing)
WHY NOT BEFORE?
* 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)* Cz-Si of resistivity 5kcm reported: T.Abe and W.Qu, High resistivity CZ silicon for RF applications substituting GaAs”, Electrochemical Society Proc. Vol. 2000-17 (2000) 491-500.

DETECTOR PROCESSING
Simple Fabrication Process:4 Lithographies 2 Ion implantations2 Thermal dry oxidations3 Sputter metal depositions
Processed at the Clean Room of Helsinki University of Technology Microelectronics Center (MEC)
Silicon Material: * 4” single side polished * nominal resistivity 900 cm * thickness 380 um * grown by magnetic Czochralski method (MCZ) -> oxygen concentration is ”low” <10 ppma and well controlled

DETECTOR CHARACTERIZATION I:ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES
Large Area Detectors: A = 32.5 cm2 IL(900 V) = 3 uAVfd = 420 V (380 um)No Breakdown <1000V
= Good Detectors for Silicon Trackers
Measured at HIP/Kumpula, Oulu University, and CERN

DETECTOR CHARACTERIZATION II:CHARGE CARRIER LIFETIMES
Cz-Si Fz-Si
Measured by Photoconductive Decay (PCD) method at Helsinki University of Technology, Electron Physics Laboratory

DETECTION PERFORMANCE
Measured by HIP Silicon Beam Telescope at CERN
* eight silicon detectors* front-end electronics with VA1 chips* commercial ADC* PC based DAQ
Resolution 10 umEfficiency 95 %Signal/Noise 10= Good Detectors

RADIATION HARDNESS
Proton irradiations:
Similar results with gamma and neutron irradiations(results to be published)
Eija Tuominen 26.09.2003
CONCLUSIONS
Czochralski silicon detectors were processed and studied:
Electrical performance:depletion voltage, leakage current, breakdown voltage - GOOD
Detection performance:resolution, efficiency, signal-to-noise - GOOD
Radiation hardness:EXCELLENT !
