For the planned luminosity upgrade of CERN LHC to sLHC new radiation hard technologies for tracking detectors are investigated. Corresponding increase, dose will be approximately a factor ten higher than currently installed in experiments. One option tolerant 3D silicon with columnar electrodes penetrating into bulk. This article reports results beam test measurements performed 3D-DDTC (Double-Sided, Double Type Column) strip detectors, where columns do not pass through detector completely....
After low dose electron irradiation, annealing kinetics of divacancy-oxygen $({\mathrm{V}}_{2}\mathrm{O})$ and vacancy-oxygen (VO) complexes in carbon-lean $n$-type magnetic Czochralski (MCZ) diffusion-oxygenated float-zone (DOFZ) Si samples has been studied detail.

A quantitative study about the thermal activation of oxygen related donors in high resistivity p-type magnetic Czochralski silicon has been carried out. Thermal donor formation performed through isothermal annealing at 430°C up to a total time 120min. Space charge density after each step measured by transient current technique.

The planned luminosity upgrade of the CERN LHC to super (sLHC) requires investigation new radiation hard tracking detectors. Compared LHC, detectors must withstand a 5–10 times higher fluence. Promising options are planar silicon with n-side readout and in 3D technology, where columnar electrodes etched into substrate.

A deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) study of electrically active defects in electron irradiated silicon detectors has been performed. Two types materials have studied and compared: carbon-lean magnetic Czochralski (MCZ-) Si, high purity, diffusion oxygenated float-zone (DOFZ-) Si. In both we observed an earlier reported shift position peaks associated with the divacancy (V2) at 250–325 °C, indicating a gradual transition from V2 to divacancy–oxygen complex (V2O). Heat treatments...

Positron annihilation in solid-state matter can be utilized to detect and identify open-volume defects. The momentum distribution of the radiation is an important observable positron-based measurements reveal information on chemical surroundings defect sites.

A new approach to improve Si detector radiation hardness/tolerance, termed as DRIVE (Detector Recovery/Improvement Via Elevated-temperature-annealing), has been realized by annealing of oxygen-rich (magnetic Czochralski), proton-irradiated detectors (with negative space charge before annealing) at medium temperature for a few hours. The proved lead the dramatic decrease in leakage current, concentration, and an eventual sign inversion from positive. Defect studies have shown significant...
