The ATLAS collaboration R&D group "Development of n-in-p Silicon Sensors for very high radiation environment" has developed single-sided p-type 9.75cm x 9.75cm sensors with an n-type readout strips having radiation tolerance against the 10^15 1-MeV neutron equivalent (neq)/cm^2 fluence expected in the Super Large Hadron Collider. The compiled results of an evaluation of the bulk and strip parameter characteristics of 19 new non-irradiated sensors manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics are presented in this paper. It was verified in detail that the sensors comply with the technical specifications required before irradiation. No openings, shorts, or pinholes were observed on all tested strips, confirming the high quality of sensors made by Hamamatsu Photonics.
