Abstract:
Charge particle telescopes are the primary equipment for charge particle identification spectroscopy applications in nuclear physics. It is proposed to fabricate the detector over a conventional silicon PIN diode detector in a vertical fashion using standard bipolar technology available with Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), Bangalore. As a part of this development, the first batch of proto-type Composite Charge Particle Identification Telescope (CCPIT) detectors have been successfully realized. This paper presents a comprehensive perspective on the design, fabrication and characterization of the first proto- types of silicon based CCPITs. Process and Device simulations in Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) were employed to extract analytical values for its performance parameters. Dynamic characterization through Alpha particle spectroscopy measurements has been performed to extract the energy resolution of the CCPIT detector.
