Abstract: A single-sided N-type silicon microstrip detector (SSD) was directly irradiated by a 200 MeV electron beam in order to examine radiation hardness. The leakage current increased linearly with the fluence up to 5×1014/cm2. The SSD efficiency began to drop at 2×1014/cm2, but was recovered by increasing the bias to 150 V and was maintained up to 3×1014/cm2. Noise figures increased slightly, but were within acceptable levels. Our results show that SSDs can operate up to a 200 MeV electron fluence of 3×1014/cm2 without any significant degradation in performance. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Noise figures increased slightly, but were within acceptable levels.
