Development of simulation tools at device level for semiconductor sensors. We are interested both in the simulation of static characteristics as for instance coupling capacitances, electric fields, etc, but also dynamic characteristics as signal developed in different sensors when particles are passing through. Tools used to made this simulations are based in comercial software as TCAD or Silvaco and programs developed by ourselves. This work profits from the close collaboration with DICE (FSA/UCL).

Metrology and instrumentation of CYCLONE-110 T2 irradiation line to test semiconductor sensors and electronics under neutron fluences (max neq/cm2).
External collaborators: Michael Moll (CERN).
Development of silicon sensors (strixels) for CMS tracker upgrade for very high luminosity at LHC. This activity is making usr of the cyclotron of UCL, the probe stations and the SYCOC set-up: SYCOC stands for "SYstem de mesure de COllection de Charge". This system is intended to measure charge collection efficiency of semiconductor detectors with both a laser and radiactive sources. This installation is used in the characterization of semiconductor detectors in order to study its radiation hardness. This project is done in collaboration with RD50 team at CERN.
External collaborators: CRC, Frank Hartman (Karlsruhe) and RD50 and CMS collaboration.
