3D irradiation results

Abstract: Owing to their unique architecture, that allows the inter-electrode distance to be decoupled from the substrate thickness, 3D silicon sensors are intrinsically radiation hard devices. As such, they are suited to the demanding specifications of experiments at the High Luminosity LHC. The ATLAS Insertable B-Layer (IBL) project has represented a first important benchmark for 3D sensor technology. Owing to a joint effort of research institutes and processing facilities within the ATLAS 3D Sensor Collaboration, 3D … Show more

“…The process fabricates about 10 μm diameter columns by etching, followed by a 1 μm polysilicon layer covering the inside of the etched holes, then passivated by a wet oxide [63]. In addition the sensor edges can be fabricated with active edge implants thus rendering sensors with an unrivaled active area fraction [65]. More details on etching holes into silicon can be found in section 3.5.…”

“…By doing so, the maximum electric field peak is moved to the front side, where it can be lowered by layout (e.g., by using field plates [10,23]), so that the breakdown voltage is increased. However, the presence of 2016 JINST 11 P09006 high electric fields at the n + column tips as the bias voltage is increased should also be considered in DTC5 diodes: from TCAD simulations, this is expected to be a major concern for breakdown at voltages of the order of 250 V [4,37,38].…”

“…This is a key feature inherently making 3D sensors radiation hard: the inter-electrode spacing can be made small enough to suppress the effect of charge carrier trapping on the signal efficiency even for very large radiation fluences, as also demonstrated by simple geometrical considerations [3]. In the past few years, outstanding results in terms of radiation tolerance have been reported for 3D sensors fabricated by different manufacturers, independently of the specific design and technology choices (see [4] and references therein).…”

“…For instance, 3D pixels (read-out by the same FE-I4 chip) have a capacitance of about 200 fF and nonetheless can achieve a noise level of only 150 e. r.m.s. [9].…”
