Abstract

Towards radiation tolerant sensors for pico-second timing, several dopants are explored. Using a common mask, CNM produced LGADs with boron, boron + carbon and gallium implanted gain layers are studied under neutron and proton irradiation. With fluences ranging from 101410^{14} to 6×1015neq/cm26\times 10^{15} n_{eq}/cm^{2} on both particle species, reported results focus on acceptor removal and gain reduction via electrical characterization. Timing performance, charge collection, gain and relative efficiency are treated through charged particle measurements, including signal analysis and noise characterization. An accent is placed on stability, via dark rate and operating voltage studies while, radiation related gain reduction mechanisms are examined comparing gain estimations through different approaches.
