"TCAD modelling of a-Si:H devices for particle detection applications" by Daniele Passeri, Arianna Morozzi et al.
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) has been proposed as a suitable material for particle detection applications thanks to its property to be deposited over a large area and above a variety of different substrates, including flexible materials. Moreover, the low cost and intrinsic radiation tolerance made this material appealing in applications where high fluences are expected, e.g. in high energy physics experiments. In order to optimize the device geometry and to evaluate its electrical behaviour in different operating conditions, a suitable Technology CAD (TCAD) design methodology can b...
