Abstract :
Radiation hardness of particle detectors based on thick epitaxial silicon layer (150 μm)has been studied in terms of operating voltage, leakage current and charge collection efficiency. The operability of such devices has been confirmed after irradiation with the fast hadrons beyond the equivalent 1 MeV neutrons fluence values of 1015cm−2.
