  8. RELAXd project 2005 - 4 months @ NIKHEF, Netherlands 2006/2007 - 6 months @ IMEC, Belgium Medipix2-based radiation camera and it's application in RELAXd and ATLAS projects

  9. RELAXd project www.nikhef.nl/pub/experiments/medipix RELAXd (High Resolution Large Area X-ray Detector) • Four-side tilable Medipix Quad modules • Serial readout of individual Medipix chip up to 500 MHz • Fast serial readout of whole Quad module up to 3.125 Gbps Used technologies: • 3D Integrated Electronic Microsystem • Edgeless sensor technology • 2D Pitch adaptation between sensor and readout ASIC • CMOS ASIC 200 mm wafer thinning • Through silicon vias made by deep reactive ion etching • BGA bumping instead of wire-bonding • High density Indium bump-bonding • Multi-Gbit/s data transmission to the PC Medipix2-based radiation camera and it's application in RELAXd and ATLAS projects

  10. 3D interconnect technology • The Medipix2 chip was designed as three-side tilable to enable the possibility of building detectors with larger sensitive area. Size of the I/O periphery and commonly used wire-bond technique for signal connection limits the tiling possibilities of the device to 2 row stripes. To overcome this limitation it is necessary to: • Increase the size of the sensor chip to cover I/O area • use pixels with size of about 65 x 65 µm2 and contacts redistribution (interposer layer or postprocessed metal wiring ) • use guardring-less sensor chip • Use another technology for connection of the I/O signals Medipix2-based radiation camera and it's application in RELAXd and ATLAS projects

  11. High density Indium bumping • Process flow: • Under bump metallization (UBM) deposition and patterning at detector and Medipix2 substrate • In material deposition and patterning at detector and Medipix substrate • Flip-chip integration and reflow Medipix2-based radiation camera and it's application in RELAXd and ATLAS projects

  12. Through silicon via technology • Newly developed technology to interconnect the front side and back side of the processed silicon wafer • Not application specific • Low temperature process (< 250 °C) • Via resistances in the range of 20 - 30 m (resistance of conventional wire-bond connection is about 60 m/mm for 25 µm wire) Medipix2-based radiation camera and it's application in RELAXd and ATLAS projects
