Expertise: Electrical CharacterisationAvailable Setups:
• Global IV, CV measurements
• Fully automatic strip-by-strip
measurements performed by motorized
XYZ-table
• Cold chuck to test at different
temperatures
Goals are:
• Quality assurance for mass
production (e.g. CMS, soon Belle II)
• Report back to producer
• Select good sensors for module
production

Expertise: Beam Tests
Thomas Bergauer21 Oct. 2010
• Regular beam tests to test sensors and modules• Usually at CERNs SPS secondary
beam lines• In cooperation with HEPHY
electronics group and international colleagues (SiLC, EUDET)
• Different main goals:• 2008: resolution studies of sensors
with different layout (ILC)• 2009: performance of double metal
layers for routing purpose (CMS)• 2010: performance of double sided
sensors with different p-stop patterns (Belle II)

New Expertise: Neutron-Irradiation
Thomas Bergauer21 Oct. 2010
• Irradiation of silicon sensors at TRIGA Mark II nuclear reactor at ATI Vienna (“Atominstitut der TU Wien”)• Easy access• High neutron flux
• Test of silicon sensors:• For CMS upgrade R&D• n- vs. p-type substrate• Float zone vs. mCz vs. Epitaxial material
• First in-situ temperature measurement of nuclear reactor’s irradiation channels• Necessary to know for the understanding
of the annealing behavior in silicon sensors
