In-situ Radiation Damage Study of Silicon Carbide Detectors Subjected to Clinical Proton Beams
Daniel Radmanovac, Andreas Gsponer, Simon Waid +5
Silicon carbide (SiC) planar PiN diodes from two different manufacturers were irradiated with 252.7 MeV protons from a medical synchrotron. Over the course of two 8h irradiation sh…
TCAD Parameters for 4H-SiC: A Review
Jürgen Burin, Philipp Gaggl, Simon Waid +2
In this literature review we investigate the permittivity, density-of-state mass, band gap, impact ionization, charge carrier recombination, incomplete ionization and mobility in 4…
Design and simulation of a 4H-SiC low gain avalanche diode with trench-isolation
Sebastian Onder, Philipp Gaggl, Jürgen Burin +6
We present the design and simulation of a 30 thick 4H-SiC Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) optimized for high-voltage operation. A 2.4 thick epitaxiall…
A double multi-turn injection scheme for generating mixed helium and carbon ion beams at medical synchrotron facilities
Matthias Kausel, Claus Schmitzer, Andreas Gsponer +7
The low relative charge-to-mass ratio offset of 0.065% between fully ionized helium-4 and carbon-12 ions enables simultaneous acceleration in hadron therapy synchrotrons. At the sa…
Extraction of Electron and Hole Drift Velocities in thin 4H-SiC PIN Detectors using High-Frequency Readout Electronics
Andreas Gsponer, Sebastian Onder, Stefan Gundacker +5
Silicon carbide (SiC) has been widely adopted in the semiconductor industry, particularly in power electronics, because of its high temperature stability, high breakdown field, and…
Characterizing the Delivered Spill Structure of Medical Proton and Carbon-Ion Beams at MedAustron using a High Frequency Silicon Carbide Readout
Matthias Knopf, Andreas Gsponer, Matthias Kausel +7
Medical synchrotrons are often used for testing instrumentation in high-energy physics or non-clinical research in medical physics. In many applications of medical synchrotrons, su…
