Radiation effects on NDL prototype LGAD sensors after proton irradiation

Instrumentation and Detectors 2021-07-07 v1

Abstract

We study the radiation effects of the Low Gain Avalanche Detector (LGAD) sensors developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) and the Novel Device Laboratory (NDL) of Beijing Normal University in China. These new sensors have been irradiated at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) using 100 MeV proton beam with five different fluences from 7×1014\times10^{14} neq/cm2n_{eq}/cm^2 up to 4.5×1015\times10^{15} neq/cm2n_{eq}/cm^2. The result shows the effective doping concentration in the gain layer decreases with the increase of irradiation fluence, as expected by the acceptor removal mechanism. By comparing data and model gives the acceptor removal coefficient cAc_{A} = (6.07±0.70)×1016 cm2(6.07\pm0.70)\times10^{-16}~cm^2, which indicates the NDL sensor has fairly good radiation resistance.
