The study solely concentrated on the J/ψn^+, J/ψ→μ^+μ^- decay channel of the Bc and it was concluded that about 120 events can be selected in the first fb^-1 of data. With this data sample, the mass resolution was estimated to be 2.0(stat.) MeV/c^2 while the cτ resolution was found to be 13.1(stat.) p.m, i.e. the lifetime resolution to be 0.044(stat.) ps.展开更多

Since the SiO2 formed by the nitric-acid-oxidation-of-silicon(NAOS)method has good compactness and simple process, the first layer film is formed by the NAOS method. The Al2O3 film is also introduced into the passivation stacks owing to exceptional advantages such as good interface characteristic and simple process. In addition, for requirements of thickness and deposition temperature, the third layer of the SiO2 film is deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD). The deposition of the SiO2 film by PECVD is a low-temperature process and has a high deposition rate, which causes little damage to the device and makes the SiO2 film very suitable for serving as the third passivation layer. The passivation approach of stacks can saturate dangling bonds at the interface between stacks and the silicon substrate, and provide positive charge to optimize the field passivation of the n-type substrate.The passivation method ultimately achieves a good combination of chemical and field passivations. Experimental results show that with the passivation structure of SiO2/Al2O3/SiO2, the final minority carrier lifetime reaches 5223 μs at injection of 5×10^(15) cm^(-3). When it is applied to the passivation of SDD, the leakage current is reduced to the order of nA.展开更多
