Design and development of Low Gain Avalanche Detectors using Teledyne e2v process

Abstract The Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD) has become the preferred technological choice for fast track timing detectors in High Energy Physics applications. Additional uses of such sensors are currently being investigated, ranging from Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) to Low Let particle dosimetry in medical and space applications. This paper describes the development and test of LGAD devices, fabricated using a commercial process from Teledyne e2v silicon foundry. Motivation behind the project, and details of the TCAD simulations of the manufacturing process and of the electrical performances of the devices will be provided. Test results on gain and time resolution using laser injection will also be shown.
