Characterization and Simulation of Silicon Carbide Devices in the SAMOTHRACE Ecosystem

We present studies on two Silicon Carbide (SiC) detectors for applications as dosimeters, micro-dosimeters, and beam-tagging devices, including detailed detector characterization, optimization of the associated electronics, and a performance comparison with conventional silicon-based detectors. Furthermore, preliminary device-level simulations carried out with Sentaurus are discussed to support the experimental results. The combined experimental and simulation studies demonstrate the potential of SiC as a promising alternative to silicon for radiation detection, particularly in environments where high radiation tolerance and fast response are required. Within this framework, the SAMOTHRACE ecosystem, in collaboration with CHIMERA, is working toward the development of a 10 µm thick SiC detector for dosimetry and micro-dosimetry, as well as a 100 µm thick device for beam-tagging applications.
