Silicon Detector Studies with an Interferometric Thickness Mapper

Abstract

A laser-interferometer system has been developed to precisely map the thickness variations of large-area silicon detectors. We describe the design and operation of the apparatus and the data processing carried out to derive thickness maps. We compare the results with a map made using accelerator beams of energetic heavy ions.
