TL;DR: In this article, columnar electrodes and trenched electrodes are used for 3D pixel sensors for high luminosity LHC detectors, which yield a much smaller minimum feature size and higher alignment accuracy.

TL;DR: In this article, the 3D single type columns (3D-STC) detectors were irradiated with 26 MeV protons to fluences up to 25×10 15 1-MeV equivalent neutrons(Neq)/cm 2 which corresponds to the fluences expected at the inner tracking layers of the sLHC before and after irradiations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the SMART project, a collaboration of Italian research institutes funded by the I.F.N., has focused on the development of radiation hard silicon position sensitive detectors for the CERN Large Hadron Collider luminosity upgrade.

TL;DR: In this paper, the PixFEL Matrix (PFM2) was designed in a 65 nm CMOS technology and consists of 32 × 32 pixels, each cell covers an area of 110 × 110 μm2 and includes a low-noise charge sensitive amplifier with dynamic signal compression, a time-variant shaper used to process the preamplifier output signal, a 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital circuitry for channel control and data readout.

TL;DR: The 3D detector design, where electrodes are processed from underneath the strips into the silicon bulk material, provides a way to enhance the radiation tolerance of standard planar silicon strip detectors as mentioned in this paper.
