This PhD project is funded by the STFC CASE scheme, in which an industry partner co-supervises the student and hoststhem for part of their PhD. The partner will be Micron Semiconductor, a UK-based SME with a proven track record indesigning and fabricating silicon devices for a range of applications. The project will primarily focus on technologydevelopment - R&D towards novel silicon sensors capable of achieving simultaneous high-precision measurements ofspatial positions and time-of-arrival of ionising particles as they traverse the sensor. This will use the low gain avalanchedetector (LGAD) approach, but with novel modifications to shrink the pixel size from mm-scale to 50 microns. The projectwill include a combination of sensor simulation, design, fabrication, and characterisation, leading to next-generationprototypes of two different design options: inverted LGAD, and trench-isolated LGAD. The student will liaise betweenacademics and industry partners, ensuring all required expertise is exploited.* Please note that the proposed area of research may change over time.

该博士项目由 STFC CASE 计划资助，其中行业合作伙伴共同监督学生并接待他们攻读部分博士学位。合作伙伴将是美光半导体公司，这是一家总部位于英国的中小企业，在设计和制造各种应用的硅器件方面拥有良好的记录。该项目将主要侧重于技术开发——研发新型硅传感器，能够同时高精度测量电离粒子穿过传感器时的空间位置和到达时间。这将使用低增益雪崩探测器 (LGAD) 方法，但进行了新颖的修改，将像素尺寸从毫米级缩小到 50 微米。该项目将包括传感器仿真、设计、制造和表征的组合，从而产生两种不同设计选项的下一代原型：倒置 LGAD 和沟槽隔离 LGAD。学生将在学术界和行业合作伙伴之间进行联络，确保利用所有所需的专业知识。*请注意，拟议的研究领域可能会随着时间的推移而改变。
