Abstract
- In this study, a controllable equal-gap large-area silicon drift detector (L-SDD) is designed. The surface leakage current is reduced by reducing the SiO2-Si interface through the new controllable equal-gap design. The design of the equal gap also solves the problem whereby the gap widens due to the larger detector size in the previous SDD design, which leads to a large invalid area of the detector. In this paper, a spiral hexagonal equal-gap L-SDD of 1 cm radius is selected for design calculation, and we implement 3D modeling and simulation of the device. The simulation results show that the internal potential gradient distribution of the L-SDD is uniform and forms a drift electric field, with the direction of electron drift pointing towards the collecting anode. The L-SDD has an excellent electron drift channel inside, and this article also analyzes the electrical performance of the drift channel to verify the correctness of the design method of the L-SDD.
