Abstract
To obtain full charge collection the CMS silicon detectors should be able t o operate at high bias voltage. We observed that multiguard structures enha nce the breakdown performance of the devices on several tens of baby detect ors designed for CMS. The beneficial effects of the multiguard structures s till remains after the strong neutron irradiation performed to simulate the operation at the LHC. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
