Silicon carbide foam as a support structure for silicon sensors in a vertex detector

In this thesis a complete study of silicon carbide (SiC) foam is presented. The aim of which is to show that this material is sufficiently understood that it could be used as a support material in the vertex detector at the International Linear Collider (ILC). Through this research a deep understand...
