Charaterization of the first prototype IHEP-NDL LGAD sensor

Abstract: The timing measurement of charged particles using silicon detector is widely used in synchrotron source as X-ray detectors, in time-of-flight mass spectrometer and especially in large collider experiment. To reduce the drastically event pile-up of high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC), a new concept of 4-dimension detector including timing and positon has been proposed. One of the candidates for the 4-dimension detector is a new kind of silicon detector called Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD). In China, Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) Chinese Academic Science cooperated with Novel Device Laboratory (NDL) at Beijing Normal University have fabricated a series of LGAD sensors. The characterization of the first prototype of IHEP-NDL sensors is presented including leakage current and sensor capacitance measurement. A test system for the time resolution of jitter term using pico-second laser and fast sampling rate oscilloscope is also setup, and the time resolution of 10 ps can be achieved with these sensors.
