A Novel Position-Sensitive Linear Winding Silicon Drift Detector

A novel position-sensitive linear winding silicon drift detector (LWSDD) was designed and simulated. On the frontside (anode side), the collecting anodes were set on both sides of the detector, and an S-shaped linear winding cathode strip was arranged in the middle, which can realize independent voltage division and reduce the complexity of external bias resistor chain compared with the traditional linear silicon drift detector. The detectors were arranged in a butterfly shape, which increased the effective area of the detectors and improved the collection efficiency. The linear winding silicon drift detector can obtain one-dimensional position information by measuring the drift time of electrons. The 2D position information of the incident particle is obtained from the anodes coordinates of the readout signal. One-dimensional analytically exact solutions of electric potential and field were obtained for the first time for the linear winding silicon drift detector. The simulation results show that the electric potential distribution inside the detector is uniform, and the “drift channel” inside the detector points to the collecting anodes on both sides, which proves the reasonable and feasible design of the linear winding silicon drift detector.


Introduction
Since its invention by Gatti and Rehak [1], the Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) has found extensive applications in various fields, including high-energy physics [2-4], astrophysics [5,6], light sources for synchronizer [7,8], medical imaging [9][10][11], elemental analysis [12][13][14], and scientific research [15][16][17].The SDD shows exceptional qualities such as higher energy resolution, excellent position resolution, a high signal-to-noise ratio, a thin dead layer, and a rapid response time, and the device can be cooled via electrical methods.Additionally, it is compatible with the CMOS process, enabling the production of large-area and highly sensitive silicon detectors with intricate structures, remarkable consistency, and excellent performance.
The SDD operates on the idea of lateral depletion, where a high-resistivity silicon substrate has small n + -implanted anodes and a self-bias p + -implanted cathode on the frontside.By applying a bias voltage to the electrodes, the silicon substrate is fully depleted, creating a drift channel that is parallel to the surface.A p + -implanted cathode, which is identical to the one on the frontside, is equipped on the backside, or it covers the entire side as the electrode.The backside connections establish a certain voltage, creating a perpendicular electric field component relative to the surface of the detector.In the meantime, the backside serves as the incident surface of the detector.Figure 1 demonstrates that when X-rays or particles hit the depleted detector, an enormous number of electronhole pairs are generated.The electrons travel towards the anode and are collected there, while the holes move towards the cathode.

The S-shaped linear winding frontside p + -implanted cathode and the backside p +implanted cathode determine the potential distribution of the LWSDD.The frontside of the design features an S-shaped winding cathode chain, while the backside is p + -implanted over the entire surface, ensuring a consistent and uniform voltage.As depicted in Figure 2, we designate the x-direction as the length direction of the microstrip cathode, the y-direction as the direction of the microstrip cathode arrangement, and the z-direction as the thickness direction of the detector.Figure 2b depicts the frontside (anode side) configuration of the LWSDD.L is the length of the microstrip cathode, and l 0 is the width of microstrip winding cathode chain.Voltages of V E and V out are applied, respectively, on both ends of the S-shaped winding cathode chain (uniform voltage is applied on the backside, V B ). Y 1 is the distance from the first microstrip cathode to the collecting anode, whereas Y N is the distance from the final microstrip cathode to the collecting anode.

Conclusions
The work shows the design of a novel position-sensitive linear winding silicon drift detector.The collecting anodes of the detector are arranged on both sides of the detector.In the center, a linear winding microstrip cathode with an S-shaped configuration achieves a self-bias voltage divider, thus simplifying the external voltage divider in comparison to the conventional linear silicon drift chamber.Setting up the detector symmetrically in a butterfly shape effectively increases the detection area and improves the collection efficiency.By evaluating the drift time of the electrons, the linear winding silicon drift detector has the capacity to obtain one-dimensional position information.The readout signal's anode coordinates determine the 2D position of the incident particle.The results that were obtained from the three-dimensional TCAD simulation of the detector demonstrate that the electric field distribution is evenly distributed and that the distribution of the electric potential in the effective area of the detector is consistent.It forms a drift channel near a straight line by applying a uniform electric field of approximately 200 V/cm, which can guarantee that the detector gathers electrons generated by incident particles more quickly and effectively.The design of the detector is confirmed to be reasonable and feasible, serving as a model for the development of linear winding silicon drift detector.
