Performance of a double sided silicon strip detector as a transmission detector for heavy ions

The performance of a double sided silicon strip detector （DSSSD）, which is used for the position and energy detection of heavy ions, is reported. The analysis shows that although the incomplete charge collection （ICC） and charge sharing （CS） effects of the DSSSD give rise to a loss of energy resolution, the position information is recorded without ambiguity. Representations of ICC/CS events in the energy spectra are shown and their origins are confirmed by correlation analysis of the spectra from both the junction side and ohmic side of the DSSSD.

硅微条探测器因具有很强的位置分辨率与能量分辨率而在世界各大核物理实验室得到广泛应用。中国科学院近代物理研究所研制了性能优越、位置精度达到0.5 mm×0.5 mm的双面硅微条探测器,用于HIRFL-CSR的外靶实验终端谱仪(ETF)上,用作径迹测量以及△E-E望远镜系统△E的探测。硅微条探测器体积小、集成度高,利用柔性印刷电路板(FPCB)引出信号,配合ASIC芯片的前端电路,能够方便地给出每一条的能量信息和位置信息。在此详细阐述了在HIRFL-CSR的ETF上双面硅微条探测器阵列的搭建,并测量了放射源在真空中探测单元的能量分辨本领。结果表明,该硅条探测器的每个探测单元对5~9 MeV能量的α粒子的能量分辨率在1%左右。     

液滴室内的氢液滴超冷条件下的结晶(英文)

液滴室内超冷现象的存在使得氢微球在自身温度低于其三相点温度的情况下依然处于液态。这可能导致液滴在真空注入过程中发生碎裂。结合液氢的超冷知识, 对液滴室内的氢液滴进行了热力学模拟, 理论上提出了利于氢液滴尽快冷却成固体小丸的最佳实验条件, 即保持液滴室内氦背景气体和氢蒸汽的压强尽可能低, 并将液滴室长度延长到6 cm以上。Because of the existence of supercooling in a droplet formation chamber, the hydrogen micro spheres are still in liquid phase even though their temperature is lower than the triple point temperature. This may cause the droplets to shatter in the vacuum injection capillary. Based on the knowledge about supercooling of liquid hydrogen, we have done a thermodynamic simulation of the droplets in the droplet formation chamber, and theoretically suggested the optimal working conditions under which the droplets will most properly nucleate to solid pellets. The suggested working conditions are that the helium gas pressure and the hydrogen vapor pressure in the droplet formation chamber are kept as low as possible, and the droplet formation chamber should be no less than 6 cm in the length.     

Phonon contribution to nonionizing energy loss in silicon detectors

Nonionizing energy loss (NIEL) has been applied to a number of studies concerning displacement damage effects in materials and devices. However, most studies consider only the contribution of displacement damage effects, neglecting the contribution from phonons. In this paper, a NIEL model, which considers the contribution of phonons, has been established using the Monte Carlo code SRIM. The maximum endurable fluence for silicon detectors has been estimated using the equivalent irradiation fluence compared with experimental data for the incident particles. NIEL is proportional to the equivalent irradiation fluence that the detector has received.     

Application of stratified implantation for silicon micro-strip detectors

In the fabrication of a 48 mm×48 mm silicon micro-strip nuclear radiation detector with 96 strips on each side, a perfect P-N junction cannot be formed consistently by the one-step implantation process, and thus over 50% of strips produced do not meet application requirements. However, the method of stratified implantation not only avoids the P region between the surface of wafers and the P⁺ region, but also overcomes the shadow effect. With the help of the stratified implantation process, a perfect functional P-N junction can be formed, and over 95% of strips meet application requirements.

ZnO 紫外探测器的研究

利用水热法生长的N型优质ZnO晶体材料蒸镀了Au、Ag、Al金属,制备出金属-半导体-金属型(MSM)ZnO紫外探测器,测试了五种接触类型的ZnO紫外探测器(Au-ZnO-Au、Ag-ZnO-Ag、Au-ZnO-Al、Ag-ZnO-Al、Al-ZnO-Al)在365nm紫外光光照前后的I-V特性曲线。实验表明Au-ZnO-Au 型、Ag-ZnO-Ag型的探测器的光电流是暗电流的100 万倍,因此,Au-ZnO-Au型、Ag-ZnO-Ag型的ZnO紫外探测器性能比Au-ZnO-Al、Ag-ZnO-Al、Al-ZnO-Al型的优越。ZnO材料的电阻率对ZnO紫外探测器的光电流有较大的影响。在相同偏压下,电阻率越大,探测器的光电流越小。ZnO ultraviolet(UV) detectors with Metal-Semiconductor-Metal(MSM) structure were fabricated by the vacuum evaporation of Au, Ag, and Al on the n-type ZnO single crystal, which was grown with hydrothermal synthesis method. Five types of MSM ZnO detectors(Au-ZnO-Au, Ag-ZnO-Ag, Au-ZnO-Al, Ag-ZnO-Al,Al-ZnO-Al) were illuminated with 365 nm UV light respectively, and their corresponding I-V(Current-Voltage) characteristics were measured. The UV photocurrent values for Au-ZnO-Au and Ag-ZnO-Ag detectors were 1x106 times than their dark current values, and these facts imply that the Au-ZnO-Au and Ag-ZnO-Ag detectors were rather good UV detectors compared to Au-ZnO-Al, Ag-ZnO-Al, Al-ZnO-Al detectors. The photocurrent of the MSM ZnO detectors was also sensitive to the cubic resistance of the ZnO crystal. And it’s found that the higher resistance rate the ZnO crystal the smaller photocurrent value the detector under the same working voltage.
