Why aluminium oxide?
• Increased use of p-type Si in detectors for high-luminosity
environments
• Higher mobility of electrons in Si → segmentation of n+ implants
• SiO2 with its positive oxide charge does not insulate the segments
without additional p-spray/p-stop implant
Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
• High negative charge (~1e12 cm-2)
• Can be deposited at low temperature
• Good dielectric properties - allows for higher oxide capacitances

Atomic layer deposition
• A film is deposited by alternate pulsing of gaseous precursors over
a substrate
• No gas-phase reactions, purges between the precursor pulses →
self-limiting surface reactions
• High film uniformity over relatively large areas
• Film growth slow and occuring in cycles → very thin layers can be
grown with good accuracy and repeatability

Considerations on Al2O3 in processing
• Film thickness
• Thermal treatments (metal sintering, firing)
• Oxygen precursor in ALD
• The best-known process for Al2O3 consists of trimethylaluminium (TMA) and H2O
• Best passivation quality (in terms of lifetimes), best diode breakdown properties
... but large blister-like delamination areas – unusable in pixelated devices*
• Addition of ozone improves performance

Many useful insights and characterization methods
from photovoltaic industry and research

Observations• Reduction of Neff and subsequent type inversion with
increasing gamma ray dose
• ”clean”, no double junction effect
• The same phenomenon is visible also for 2017 batch, but
there not up to SCSI due to lower starting resistivity = higher
doping
• Leakage current scales well with gamma ray dose
• Does not appear to affect charge collection significantly
Acceptor removal? Donor creation?
Hole trapping due to Al2O3?

Vfb shifts towards negative:
positive charge formation
as expected,
but Qeff remains negative
• Strong frequency dependence
• Vfb measured starting in inversion does not show large change after first
irradiation dose, but hysteresis increases
→ indicates formation of positive mobile charge, while Qf is less affected
• Changes in bulk doping need to be taken into account for accurate charge
extraction

Summary
• Al2O3 films were successfully integrated into a 6” Si detector
process as replacement for the SiO2 + p-spray/p-stop entity
• Devices are well characterizable by standard methods: CV, IV, TCT
• These results tell more about the MCz Si bulk properties than the
insulator oxide
• Positive space charge building up due to irradiation, may lead to type inversion depending on initial doping concentration
• Interpretation of MOS capacitor CV curves for extraction of oxide charge requires some considerations/assumptions and comparison with pad CV data

What next
• Further characterization of pixel sensors
• Flip-chip bonding
• Evaluation of the assembly in the lab and at test beam
• Annealing..?
• So far, no anneal after gamma irradiation, all measurements at RT
• Irradiation with p, n
• Defect spectroscopy (DLTS) to study mechanism behind acceptor
compensation
