Measurement Techniques 1.Thermally Stimulated Currents with cryogenic equipments: measurements performed on liquid He vapors, to ensure stable temperatures down to 4.2K minimize thermal inertia and mismatch. 2. Zero Bias Thermally Stimulated Currents measured at high fluence in the high temperature range ( K), to avoid background current subtraction, and increase resolution in deep levels analysis. Used in all T range to study the residual electric field due to charged defects. Aims: (a)Optimize the priming procedure to evidence radiation induced defects and correctly evaluate their concentration; (b) Get information about electric field distribution. M. Scaringella, M.

1. Priming provide an injection of carriers which are trapped at energy levels, according to an asymmetrical distribution induced by external polarization (V bias ). 2. At low temperature electrodes are short- circuited: the carriers at electrodes and in bulk redistribute themselves in order to establish zero voltage and zero field boundary conditions. Charge frozen at low temperature → non-uniform electric field and non-monotonous potential distribution with minima and maxima corresponding to zero electric-field planes settle. ZBTSC: More on the Experimental procedure 3. ZBTSC scan (heating): system brought back to the fundamental equilibrium state. Charge redistribute into the volume and charge injection occurs at the electrodes, giving rise to current detected in the external circuit. Charge relaxation during heating scan can be discussed in terms of motion of the zero electric-field planes along the sample thickness. Example: double junction in irradiated p-on-n Si ( voltages measured at n + respect to p + ). Charge distribution not shown.

Problems ancountered in TSC after priming Normally the peak height increases with increasing bias voltage Scaringella et al. Nucl. Instrum Meth A 570 (2007) 322–329 In some case it decreases Bruzzi et al. J. Appl. Phys. 99 (2006) TSC peak saturation does not correspond to full volume emission M. Scaringella, M. Bruzzi, D.

With same V cool and V bias TSC peaks height always increases with the filling current. Increasing I fill more charges are trapped at defects, so TSC and ZB-TSC emission is higher Experimental results obtained with different TSC and ZB-TSC parameters I fill,V cool, V bias A - Forward current priming M.

Cooling under reverse bias build-up a residual field (opposite to the cooling voltage), due to the charges frozen in the radiation induced traps. This field increases with V cool and it drives the first emission of charge during the ZB-TSC. ZB-TSC peaks height increases with increasing V cool ( zero V bias and I fill ) M. Scaringella, M.

Comparison between forward current and optical priming In heavily irradiated samples optical priming can be much more efficient than forward current priming M. Scaringella, M. Bruzzi, D.

Optical filling with reverse bias (Vfill =+100V): evidence of residual field setup. TSC discontinuity reflects the residual field in the bulk. It’s the same residual field that drives the ZB-TSC!

We studied both p- and n-type MCz Si pad detectors after irradiation with reactor neutrons up to cm -2. -TSC and ZB-TSC were carried out to inspect radiation-induced defects. -Priming procedures were investigated to optimize the visualization of traps by TSC and to evidence the electric field distribution within the irradiated device. Best priming process found is optical priming in forward polarization (to be checked without polarization). -The various features observed experimentally by changing the operative parameters are qualitatively described by band diagrams. Best description accounts for the presence of a residual electric field (polarization of the irradiated Si bulk) due to frozen charged traps in the bulk and barriers close to the electrodes. Residual electric field in the bulk can be so high, in highly irradiated device, to dominate the current emission both in TSC and ZB-TSC. -The sign of the ZB-TSC current is discussed in terms of possible emission mechanisms. In most practical cases the residual field, revealed by the ZB-TSC, is opposed to the external bias voltage in a TSC scan. Summary M. Scaringella, M. Bruzzi, D. Menichelli, R.

TSCZB-TSC TSC Sample reverse-biased: electric field always with same sign. As a consequence, emitted electrons and holes, regardless of the region from which they are emitted, produce a positive current. Electric field changes sign inside the bulk. Traps emitting close to p + or n + interfaces give rise to a positive current; those emitting in the bulk will produce a negative current. These two contributions, whose intensity is related to electric field rearrangement during emission, are summed up in the overall measured current. Current sign depends on which components dominate. TSC vs. ZB-TSC Example: double junction in irradiated p-on-n Si (Voltages measured at n + respect to p +, currents positive when flowing from n + to p+) ; X hole trap Y electron trap.

Electric field contributions in ZBTSC: a) built-in at electrodes; b) intrinsic at traps ionized in the bulk; c) offset due to faible potential differences remaining at electrodes during short-circuit. d) Intentional offset applied to counteract or support emission (quasi- ZBTSC). Best conditions to observe trap emission must be determined experimentally, by evaluating these components and evaluate their effect on trap emission. M. Scaringella, M. Bruzzi, D. Menichelli, R. Mori, TSC studies on n- and p-type MCz silicon pad detectors irradiated with neutrons up to n/cm 2 15° RD50 workshop, 16 November - 18 November 2009, Geneva

Typically, but non-necessarily, the ZBTSC will flow in the opposite direction of the current that has established the charge distribution during the priming, but the initial direction can be reversed during the thermal scan. Here signal due to trap emission change sign when changing from TSC to ZBTSC, while current background, due to offset voltage, is always positive. M. Scaringella, M. Bruzzi, D. Menichelli, R.

Advantages of ZB-TSC In our n-on-p samples: n/cm 2 T max ~ 195K n/cm 2 T max ~ 185K n/cm 2 T max ~ 150K Deep levels with activation energies close to midgap, important because are believed to be related to extended defects, give TSC signal in the range K → No reliable evidence for such defects, usually with energies >0.4eV, at high fluences.

Mori, TSC studies on n- and p-type MCz silicon pad detectors irradiated with neutrons up to n/cm 2 15° RD50 workshop, 16 November - 18 November 2009, Geneva

n-on-p irradiated Si ZB-TSC measurements performed at different fluences. Thick lines indicate measurements carried out in the following reference conditions: V=V cool =100V during the cooling from room temperature to T 0, V=Vfill=-100V to inject carriers at T 0. At the lowest fluence a positive signal is observed in the range K. At the intermediate fluence the signal extends up to 190K and its zero-crossings reveal the presence of regions with opposite electric field. At the highest fluence the spectrum is completely dominated by negative components from the bulk. 2. Inspection of intrinsic electric field due to charged defects M. Scaringella, M. Bruzzi, D.
