Abstract

An increase of the luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is foreseen around 2017 by about an order of magnitude. This will translate into a largely increased radiation dose, with which the present trackers can not cope. The development of radiation-hard silicon detectors is required for the innermost tracking layers. One option for radiation-hard silicon sensors is the 3D technology, where columnar electrodes are etched, perpendicular to the surface, into the silicon bulk. In this paper we investigated 3D single type columns (3D-STC) detectors which were irradiated with 26 MeV protons to fluences up to 2.5×E15 1-MeV equivalent neutrons(Neq)/cm2 which corresponds to fluences expected at the inner tracking layers of the sLHC. Before and after irradiations the sensors were tested with a beta-source setup to measure and quantify the radiation induced damage.
