Abstract
| During the prototyping phase of the new ATLAS ITk large area strip sensors, a degradation of the device breakdown voltage at high humidity was observed. Although the degradation was temporary, showing a fast recovery in dry conditions, the study of the influence of humidity on the sensor performance was critical to establish counter-measures and handling protocols during production testing in order to ensure the proper performance of the upgraded detector. The work presented here has the objective to study for the first time the breakdown voltage deterioration in presence of humidity of ATLAS ITk production layout sensors with different surface properties, before and after proton, neutron and gamma irradiations. The sensors were also exposed several days to high humidity with the aim to recreate and evaluate the influence of the detector integration environment expected during the Long Shutdown 3 (LS3) in 2025, where the sensors will be exposed to ambient humidity for prolonged times. |
