Measurement of Johnson Noise Induced by p-Stops in Silicon Microstrip Detectors

We report on noise measurements performed on the n-side of double-sided, AC-coupled, punch-through biased silicon strip detectors. The noise has been measured over a wide range of peaking times and bias voltages, allowing the disentanglement of two excess noise terms, one related to the p-stops surrounding the strips and the other related to the electron accumulation layer at the Si/ SiO2 interface.
