  2. Outline: • SUCIMA project • SOI imager – motivation and concept • SOI imager – technology development • Test structures and preliminary measurements • Future tasks

  3. SUCIMA Silicon Ultra fast Cameras for electron and gamma sources In Medical Applications COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH • SUCIMA is a project approved bythe EC within GROWTH, one of the lines of the Fifth Framework Program • The project started off on November 1st, 2001 and it is supposed to last for 36 months. The collaboration is made out of 9 Dept.’s or Research Centers and 2 companies from 5 EU countries.

  4. Review of SUCIMA objectives • The main goal of the project is the • DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADVANCED IMAGING TECHNIQUE OF EXTENDED RADIOACTIVE SOURCES USED IN MEDICAL APPLICATIONS • where “imaging” has be intended as the record of a dose map • Development & boundary conditions are defined by the specific end-user requirements: • Brachytherapy • Real-time monitor of a proton beam for radiotherapic treatments

  5. The specific task of the SUCIMA project is the • DEVELOPMENT OF A SOI IMAGER • Why SOI? • fast • sensitive • radiation hard

  6. SOI Monolithic Detector – Motivation Advantages of SOI monolithic detectors: • SOI imager as a monolithic device allows to reduce total sensor thickness • Performance and radiation tolerance of readout electronics may benefit from reduction of active silicon thickness • SOI solution allows the use of high resistive detector substrates

  7. SOI Imager – Main Concept Detector  handle wafer • High resistive • 300 m thick Electronics  active layer • Low resistive • 1.5 m thick Detector: conventional p+-n, DC-coupled Electronics: CMOS technology on the SOI substrate

  8. SOI Imager –Technology Development Technology of SOI detectors Integration of pixel manufacturing technique with typical CMOS poly-Si gate technology Challenges: • Fabrication of circuits at both sides of BOX layer • Cross-talk between read-out electronics and detector • Reliable electrical connection through BOX • Optimization of high temperature processing

  9. SOI Imager –Technology Development Technological sequenceover 100 processes

  10. SOI Imager –Technology Development

  11. Test Structures The test structures serve as a tool for SOI technology and layout design development.They will be fabricated by the IET, Warsaw by the end of the year

  12. An Example of Technological Test Structure The test structure for checking treshold voltage differences for close situated transistors

  13. An Example of Design Test Structure The test structure for F-E concept evaluation

  14. Preliminary measurements The bulk test structures has been used to produce SOI transistors on SOITEC wafers. The technology sequence was similar as it is provided for SOI detectors. The substrate parameters are exactly the same like for future SOI detectors except low resistivity of the handle wafers.

  15. Preliminary measurements The CMOS transistors on thin substrate (SOI) have different doping profiles than the bulk ones. Parameters of well implantation were changed to get Vth=0.7+/-0.2V at reasonable VBR( 19 V)

  16. TASKS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE • Production of test structures (next 2 months) • Extraction of device parameters (Jan/Feb 03) • Technology development (3 runs expected) • Preliminary verification of design (mid-year 2003)
