SOI Pixel検出器の特徴
• 余分な物質が少なく、多重散乱をおさえられる。
• 電極容量が小さく、少ない電荷(薄いセンサー)で大きなS/Nが得
られる。
• 複雑な信号処理回路を各ピクセルに持たせられる。
• 高レート、高速読み出し、ローカルメモリー等が可能。
• 機械的接合がなく、高分解能化、低価格化が望める。
• 産業界の標準

Buried p-Well to suppress back gate effect
One of the major issues in realizing SOI pixel sensor is
Back Gate Effect. To deplete the sensor Si, we have to
apply high voltage (~100V) from back. This back voltage
affect the characteristics of the transistor.

BPW
• Cut Top Si and BOX
• High Dose
• Keep Top Si not affected
• Low Dose
• Suppress the back gate effect.
• Shrink pixel size without loosing sensitive area.
• Increase break down voltage with low dose region.
• Less electric field in the BOX which promote recombination
of electron and hole, thus improves radiation hardness.
