Abstract
It is important to develop a thin silicon detector using a large silicon wafer to reduce multiple Coulomb scattering and the material budget. A Si-CsI detector in a large acceptance multi-purpose spectrometer (LAMPS) is considered to identify isotopes. The thickness of the first of three silicon sensors in front of the CsI(Tl) crystal is 100 μm. We aim to establish a manufacturing process for thinning using a 6-inch silicon wafer that provides the characteristics of a photodiode. In this paper, we present a back-thinning process of the photodiode, and comparisons of its electrical characteristics and signal-to-noise ratios before and after the thinning process.
