Abstract

In this paper results of Edge-TCT and I-V measurements with passive test structures made in LFoundry 150 nm HV-CMOS process on p-type substrates with different initial resistivities ranging from 0.5 to 3 kΩ\Omegacm are presented. Samples were irradiated with reactor neutrons up to a fluence of 2\cdot1015^{15} neq_{\mathrm{eq}}/cm2^2. Depletion depth was measured with Edge-TCT. Effective space charge concentration NeffN_{\mathrm{eff}} was estimated from the dependence of depletion depth on bias voltage and studied as a function of neutron fluence. Dependence of NeffN_{\mathrm{eff}} on fluence changes with initial acceptor concentration in agreement with other measurements with p-type silicon. Long term accelerated annealing study of NeffN_{\mathrm{eff}} and detector current up to 1280 minutes at 60^\circC was made. It was found that NeffN_{\mathrm{eff}} and current in reverse biased detector behaves as expected for irradiated silicon.
