A series of proton-beam irradiations was performed in order to investi
gate the radiation damage of silicon photodiodes and double-sided sili
con strip sensors. Measurements were made for the leakage current, bia
s resistance, interstrip isolation, annealing and responses to an infr
ared light pulse and beta-rays. Some problems in the production of rad
iation-hard double-sided strip sensors were observed. However, it has
been shown that most of them can be resolved by adequately designing t
he strip structure, the implantation density and the materials used fo
r various parts of the sensor. It is therefore possible to obtain a do
uble-sided silicon strip sensor which works even after charged-particl
e irradiation of 20 kGy.
