Goals
Goals: Analysis of the impact of carrier generation (bulk generation current) on the electric field profile in Si irradiated detectors Finding the correct approach for E(x) simulation Importance: Correct E(x) is required for adequate calculation of CCE
Earlier/Related results:
Temperature dependences of reverse current: activation energy of generation current of 1 MeV neutron and 23 GeV proton irradiated detectors was estimated as 0.65 eV (E. Verbitskaya, et al., 20 RD50 workshop) Recent results on I(T) scaling: simulation and experiment; A. Chilingarov, RD50 notes and presentation at 18 RD50 workshop, May 2011, Liverpool Presentations in Bari on electric field simulation

Global result of RD50 collaboration
Linear fit of I(F) is a strong argument to use linear dependence of the concentration of energy levels, which act as generation centers, on Feq

Approach for calculation of E(x) profile (PTI model)
We consider two independent processes which control E(x) profile
1. Equilibrium carrier generation (bulk generation current, gen):
Ibgen = eniVol/gen
Generation occurs in SCR via effective generation level (0.65 eV),
introduction rate Mj = 1 cm-1, e = h = 1x10-13 cm2, (T) = o(T/To
)-2
(defined from our I(T) data)
divJgen = G; G = ni/g
G – generation rate jgen ~ Gxdepth Electron and hole components je(x) = Gx; jh(x) = G(d – x)
This level does not contribute to Neff

Approach for calculation of E(x) profile
2. Trapping to deep levels
DDs: Ev + 0.48 eV; DAs: Ec – (0.5250.005) eV – midgap levels used in all PTI simulations and fits
Filling factors are calculated for DDs and DAs which charged fractions contribute to Neff
No contribution of DDs and DAs to generation current!
Then Poisson equation:
dE/dx = -eNeff/o → E(x)

Alternative issues: comments
Recently: Simulation of detector characteristic using standard simulating software (ISE-TCAD, Atlas (Silvaco), etc.)
Pres. at 20 RD50 workshop, Bari: R. Eber, Karsruhe, KIT; M. Miñano, IFIC, Valencia; also results from Deli University group
Main features
DDs and DAs are implemented (the same levels as in PTI model) which are considered as traps and generation levels Disagreement in current when calculating with standard simulator, no DP E(x) To agree with expected current calculated from and F, tuning of initial parameters is done
(suggested: cross-sections, reduced lifetime, introduction rate)
Question: lifetime – is it recombination lifetime as in Simulator Standard physics model for a sensor with no radiation damage? Value?
E. Verbitskaya, V. Eremin, 21 RD50 workshop, Nov 14-16, 2012, CERN

Alternative issues: comments
Igen(V) ~ V0.5 (w ~ V0.5) Igen(T) ~ exp(-Eg/2kT) - plot I-V in log-log scale Idif (V) = Is at V > 2kT/e Idif(T) ~ exp(-Eg/kT)
Also, generation and diffusion have different dependences on V and T
This may be the most probable reason for necessity to make tuning/tailoring//adjustment of initial parameters for simulation (e.g., , K) in standard software
(see presentations on Simulation mentioned above and at 21 RD50 workshop)
At F beyond SCSI → p-Si in base region,electrons are minor carriers which diffuse towards SCR
Idif depends on Ldif = (Dec)0.5 to (d-W) ratio
In SCR DivJdr e,h = 0Je_dr = enve_dr = Je_dif = const
If so, no DP E(x) arises!

Trapping – controls CCE; all levels contribute to since pulse signal is measured within = 25 ns that is far less than detrapping time constant for larger energy gap (at RT)
Relationship between different lifetimes
E. Verbitskaya, V. Eremin, 21 RD50 workshop, Nov 14-16, 2012, CERN
Uncertainty in lifetime may be the most probable reason for necessity to make tuning/tailoring/adjustment of initial parameters for simulation in standard software (see presentations on Simulation mentioned above and at 21 RD50 workshop)

Generation lifetime vs. F
Ibgen = eniVol/gen; Ibgen = FVol
gen = (eni /F-1
gen 15tr
gen = 4.32x107/Feq
tr_e = 3.1x106/Feq
tr_h = 2.9x106/Feq
For Feq = 1x1014 cm-2
gen = 4.3x10-7 s
whereas lifetime used in Silvaco
≈ 1x10-7 s – recombination lifetime?
How to insert (F) in standard software?

Conclusions
PTI model considers E(x) profile formation in irradiated Si detectors caused by two independent processes: carrier generation via effective level with Ea = 0.65 eV and carrier trapping to midgap DDs and DAs.
This model gives nice agreement of the current with I(F) dependence
Therefore,Consideration on contribution of bulk generation current gives adequate description of irradiated detector characteristics
The nature of lifetime used in standard simulation software should be clarified
