A silicon microstrip detector irradiated with a fluence of 4.2/spl times/10/sup 13/ protons/cm/sup 2/ was demonstrated to give rise to detector thermal runaway. The temperature and voltage dependence can be fairly well reproduced by a finite element thermal simulation with temperature dependent bulk leakage current.
