Semiconductor Materials and Detectors for Future Very High Luminosity Colliders.

Recent results from the CERN RD50 Collaboration for the development of radiation-hard detectors for the LHC upgrade (Super-LHC) and in general for very high luminosity colliders are reviewed, summarized and discussed. Particularly, the attention is focused on emerging technologies (Czochralski and Magnetic Czochralski silicon, thinned detectors, highly doped thin epitaxial layer on Czochralski substrate, pre-irradiated silicon, p-type substrate devices) and new detector structures (3D, 3D-STC, Semi-3D, and Stripixel).
