Title: Rate dependence, polarization, and light sensitivity of neutron-irradiated scCVD diamond sensors

Abstract

We study the dependence of the charge-collection-efficiency, or CCE, on the rate of charged particles impinging on neutron-irradiated single-crystal Chemical-Vapor-Deposition (scCVD) diamond sensors. These effects are not observed in un-irradiated high quality scCVD sensors. The rate dependence appears to be associated with the build-up of an electric field opposing the applied charge-collection field in the sensor. We find that exposure of the detector to red or near-IR light reverses this effect on the CCE during operation.

Direct current response of a thin scCVD diamond detector under increased applied field to 14.1 MeV neutrons

Conference Guckes, Amber L ; Buckles, Robert A ; Wolverton, Adam J ; ... - SPIE Optics and Photonics

An avalanche effect yielding inherent gain can be exploited in thin, single-crystal chemical vapor deposition (scCVD) diamond. It occurs when a high enough bias is applied across the diamond thickness while avoiding breakdown. This charge multiplication effect was studied previously with alpha particles and heavy ions either by using the transient current technique or by measuring the energy spectrum. The measurements we obtained to evaluate the charge multiplication performance of a 10 μm thick scCVD diamond detector used a novel approach—we employed an electrometer to characterize the response of the detector by performing directly coupled current measurements (time-averaged charge, atmore »« less

Charge multiplication effect in thin diamond films

Journal Article Skukan, N., E-mail: nskukan@irb.hr ; Grilj, V. ; Sudić, I. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Herein, we report on the enhanced sensitivity for the detection of charged particles in single crystal chemical vapour deposition (scCVD) diamond radiation detectors. The experimental results demonstrate charge multiplication in thin planar diamond membrane detectors, upon impact of 18 MeV O ions, under high electric field conditions. Avalanche multiplication is widely exploited in devices such as avalanche photo diodes, but has never before been reproducibly observed in intrinsic CVD diamond. Because enhanced sensitivity for charged particle detection is obtained for short charge drift lengths without dark counts, this effect could be further exploited in the development of sensors based on avalanchemore »« less

Use of diamond sensors for a high-flux, high-rate X-ray pass-through diagnostic

Journal Article Bohon, J. ; Gonzalez, E. ; Grace, C. ; ... - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation (Online)

X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) deliver pulses of coherent X-rays on the femtosecond time scale, with potentially high repetition rates. While XFELs provide high peak intensities, both the intensity and the centroid of the beam fluctuate strongly on a pulse-to-pulse basis, motivating high-rate beam diagnostics that operate over a large dynamic range. The fast drift velocity, low X-ray absorption and high radiation tolerance properties of chemical vapour deposition diamonds make these crystals a promising candidate material for developing a fast (multi-GHz) pass-through diagnostic for the next generation of XFELs. A new approach to the design of a diamond sensor signal pathmore »« less

Test system for charge collection efficiency measurement (SYCOC) for neutron irradiated silicon sensors

Conference Yee, L S ; Pin, A ; Militaru, O ; ...

One of the constraints in using standard Float Zone silicon layer as base material for tracking in particle physics is its radiation hardness. The detection efficiency is degraded by the introduction of defects in the silicon crystal and charge trapping becomes the main problem. The Charge Collection Efficiency (CCE) is a relevant parameter in order to determine the detection performance of such devices. A state-of-the-art test system named 'Systeme de mesure de collection de charge' (SYCOC) has been developed for the characterization of diode and microstrip silicon sensors before and after irradiation. The system is designed to perform Charge Collectionmore »« less
