Radiation Damage Studies of Vertex Detector CCDs
• First studies of radiation damage to spare CCD ladders of the SLD VXD3 were reported in– IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. 47, 1898 (2000)
• Now we are renewing these studies with– passive annealing investigation (of old damage)– post-mortem measurements of damage in VXD3 itself– new exposures with electrons

Radiation Hardness
Surface Damage from ionizing radiationhard to > 1 Mrad (acceptable for LC)(however, SLD VDX3 damage!)
Bulk Damageresults in loss of charge-transfer efficiency (CTE)
ionizing radiationdamage suppressed by reducing the operating temperature
•An undamped beam was run through the detector, causing radiation damage in the innermost barrel. •The damage was observed as the detector was operating at an elevated temperature (220 K). •Reducing to 190 K ameliorated the damage

Theory of Bulk DamageThe most important radiation damage in CCDs caused by heavy particles is displacement in the bulk silicon. 1 MeV neutrons can transfer up to 130 keV to PKA. Only 15 eV is needed to displace an atom from the lattice.
Example of simulated tracks of knock-out silicon atoms from a primary knock-out energy of 40 keV. (V.A.J.Van Lint, NIM A253, 453 (1987).)
Vacancy (V) and interstitial silicon (I) pairs are created as a result of atom displacement. More than 90% of such pairs recombine immediately. Those which are not recombined diffuse until they form complexes of two or more vacancies (V2 or V3) or vacancy-impurity (VP, V2O and so on). Such complexes are usually not mobile. Some of them are able to bind electrons, and the bound energy for some of these is about 0.35 - 0.5 eV below the conduction band. These may act as electron traps when empty. If the bound energy is close to the conduction band, (shallow traps) the lifetime of the bound state is so short, that the trapped electron will be released quickly and re-join the charge packet before the packet passes through the trap region. In this case no charge transfer inefficiency will be introduced by the defect.

Theory of Bulk Damage (cont.)
However, for the deeper levels (close to 0.5 eV below the conduction band) the lifetime of the bound state, which is:
is larger than the inter-pixel transfer time , so trapped electrons are removed from the charge packet and released after the packet passes through the trap region. This leads to charge transfer inefficiency. Such inefficiency may be cured, however, by cooling the CCD to a low enough temperature, that the lifetime of the bound electrons in the trap becomes very long, so that the filled traps remain occupied when the next charge packet passes. Filled trap can't capture more electrons, so this trap will not lead to charge transfer inefficiency.

Note () - flush is only partially effective due to required delay between flush and readout (1 second)In LC detector – better resultexpected

Post-mortem tests of VXD3
• Have removed VXD3 from SLD and will do measurements to establish the nature of the damage

Summary of new studies1. Test stand for testing radiation damage of the CCDs has
been fully operational for about 2 months now.2. The 1998-1999 measurements of neutron induced
radiation damage has been confirmed.3. Some of the damage (~30%) has annealed in the 4 years,
during which the CCDs were stored at room temperature.4. We are now collecting high statistics on the damage in
these detectors, after which we plan to irradiate the same CCDs with relatively high energy (tens of Mev) electrons, to compare the characteristics of damage inflicted by electrons and neutrons.We are looking for the beam to do the electron irradiation.
5. VXD3 detector has been extracted from SLD and is waiting of disassembling.

Vertex Detectors
• Design CCD’s for– Optimal shape ~2 x 12 cm– Multiple (~20) ReadOut nodes for fast readout– Thin -≤ 100 µ– Improved radiation hardness– Low power
• Readout ASIC– No connectors, cables, output to F.O.– High reliability– Increased RO speed from SLD VXD3– Lower power than SLD VXD3
