Abstract
The requirements of modern space applications as well as the requirements of collider experiments have pushed the present day silicon devices to the very edge of current technology. Future very high luminosity colliders or planed long lasting space missions will however require semiconductor detectors with substantially improved properties as ultra radiation hardness, fast and efficient charge transfer and device miniaturisation will become of utmost importance.
We propose a research and developement program to provide a device technology which is able to operate safely in radiation hard environment. Within this project we will optimize existing methods and evaluate new ways to engineer the silicon bulk material, the device structure and the device operating conditions.
