Summary
This technical paper presents engineering solutions for scaling microstrip radiation silicon sensors to larger areas for the ATLAS detector upgrade at the Large Hadron Collider. The authors describe an Automatic Layout Generation Tool developed to facilitate sensor design adaptation and characterise prototype performance on 6-inch wafers, with particular attention to radiation hardness and sensor-readout interconnection strategies via an Embedded Pitch Adaptor concept.
UK applicability
Not applicable to UK agricultural, soil health, or nutritional research; this is a particle physics detector engineering paper unrelated to farming systems or human nutrition.
Key measures
Inter-strip characterisation, radiation hardness measurements, sensor design specifications, fabrication process parameters for 6-inch wafer technology
Outcomes reported
The study reports on the development and characterisation of large-area microstrip silicon radiation sensors designed for the ATLAS detector upgrade, including inter-strip performance and radiation hardness testing of prototype sensors.
