Performance and Longevity Overview • The CDF Silicon detector must remain efficient till 2009 – SVX-II designed for 2 -3 fb-1 – Delivered to date: ~2. 5 fb-1 – Run II goal: 5 -8 fb-1 • Major concerns – Long term radiation damage – Beam incidents – Other component failures SVX+L 00 Components in Radiation field Longevity Status Optical transmitters 10% degradation at 200 k. Rad (or ~8 fb-1), no change in wave form Readout chips 17% noise increase at ~3 Mrad (or ~8 fb-1) for SVX Layer-0 Silicon Alexandre Pronko This talk ISL As far as we can get to Silicon… Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 10
Radiation Effects on Sensors • Effects of Radiation Damage – Effect-1: noise increase • Bulk & surface damage to sensors increase in leakage current, inter-strip capacitance • Damage to readout chips – Effect-2: signal degradation • Increased charge trapping in crystal defects loss in charge collection efficiency • Change in effective doping concentration higher depletion voltage inability to fully deplete due to bias voltage limitations • Lifetime is evaluated by 3 independent methods – Sensor depletion voltage (Vdep) monitoring • “Signal” method • “Noise” method – Direct Signal/Noise measurements – Sensor bias current monitoring Alexandre Pronko Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 11
Radiation Environment • Measured by >1000 thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) – Ionizing radiation; low energy neutrons • Accurate radiation map • Dose dominated by collisions (>90%) – remainder from beam losses • Radiation scaling in Silicon volume – Radial scaling as ~1/r • Z-dependent: 1. 5< <2. 1 – Dose at r=3 cm & |Z|<45 cm: • 300 60 k. Rad/fb-1 – Integrated dose up to now (~2. 5 fb-1) • L 00 2. 5 MRad • SVX-II Layer-0 1 MRad Alexandre Pronko Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 12
Depletion Voltage Basics • Evolution of depletion voltage, Vdep, due to radiation damage – Effective number of charge carriers, Neff, decreases until type inversion, decreasing Vdep – Increase of Vdep after type inversion, reaching maximum allowed bias voltage (170 V for Layer-0) • Predictions: – modified Hamburg model – Vdep~ Neff=NA+NC+NY • • • Alexandre Pronko NA( , T, t) beneficial annealing NC( ) stable component NY( , T, t) reverse annealing , T, t fluence, temperature, time study of leakage current T estimated from coolant temperature; largest source of uncertainty S. Worm, NIM A 549, 126 (2005) Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 13
Depletion Voltage: Signal vs. Bias Vdep Peak charge (ADC) • Study collected charge of silicon hits during beam • Find peak of ADC distribution as function of bias voltage (fit: Landau Gaussian) • Determine Vdep as 95% of amplitude Bias voltage (V) Alexandre Pronko Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 14
Depletion Voltage: Noise vs. Bias • Use double-sided sensors • P-stops do not provide isolation unless fully depleted Þ large leakage current Þ inter-strip n-side thermal noise is minimal when bulk fully depleted • Vary Vbias & measure n-side noise • Pros… – Requires no beam – independent measurement of Vdep • Cons… – Only works for double-sided sensors (SVX-II, ISL) – not sure if it works after inversion Alexandre Pronko Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 15
Depletion Voltage: Lifetime Estimate Data points are from Noise-Bias scans • Layer-0 of SVX-II is of most concern: Vdep<170 V – compare with 500 V for L 00 • • Layer-0 not inverted yet, expected after 2 fb-1 Assuming same slope after inversion, Layer-0 should outlast Run II – Vdep evolution follows “optimistic” prediction Alexandre Pronko Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 16
Signal/Noise Ratio Basics • Ability to deplete sensors is important, but S/N ratio is really what matters – Limit-1: • S/N > 8 for displaced vertex trigger – Limit-2: • S/N > 3 for b-tagging • Effects of radiation damage – Signal • Decreases with L (i. e. , dose) • changes doping concentration & charge trapping – Noise • Increases with L (i. e. , dose) • Bulk & surface damage increased leakage current increased shot noise • Chip damage Alexandre Pronko Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 17
Signal/Noise Ratio Measurement • Signal – Use tracks from unbiased J/ trigger sample – Most probable value of fit to ADC spectrum • Noise – Mean strip noise from calibration runs without beam – Runs taken every two weeks Alexandre Pronko Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 18
Signal/Noise ratio: Lifetime Projection • S/N decreases with L – Dominated by leakage current shot noise – Micron sensors degrade faster than Hamamatsu • Physically inspired model L integrated luminosity a, b, c, d free parameters • Model extrapolation: SVX-II lifetime is not limited by S/N degradation • Continuing work on refining model Alexandre Pronko Vienna Conference on Instrumentation, Feb. 18 -24, 2007 19
Summary and Conclusion • Silicon detectors in CDF: SVX-II, ISL, L 00 – Large and complex system: 6 m 2 of silicon; 722 K channels – Very stable performance – Crucial for success of physics program • Observed evolution of Vdep and S/N in agreement with estimates – Inner most layers of silicon are near type inversion • Studies suggest that the CDF Silicon Detector should outlast Run II without major degradation in performance • We continue to monitor detector performance – How will the detector behave after inversion? – Will the S/N predictions hold true?
