Design Considerations • The LHC detectors will be hybrid pixels • Readout chip is very complex (500 K transistors) • Sensor are simpler (50k diodes) • Irradiation changes silicon • Type inversion of the bulk material n p • Increase of effective doping and full depletion voltage • Complex annealing and anti-annealing behavior • Undepleted bulk becomes high resistive • Increase trapping of signal charge D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
Radiation Hardness • The CMS pixel design has been optimized for a dose of 61014 neq/cm2 • Fluence is dominated by ’s. Oxygenation is expected to be useful • Crucial to limit the periods without cooling because of anti-annealing Rose collaboration D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
Design Considerations p-on-n n-on-n D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
Design considerations • p-on-n option • require sensors to be depleted for operation: • High voltage after irradiation • Complex guard ring design • Difficult module construction • Possible damage to the chip because of high V and small distance between chip and the sensor • Protection of unconnected pixels may be necessary • To reduce trapping small gap between pixels Tilman Rohe pixel 2002 D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
Design considerations • n-on-n option: • Allows operation of undepleted sensors after type inversion • Requires double sided processing • More expensive • Lower yield • Testing with bias grid (Atlas), resistive network (CMS) • N-side pixel isolation • P-stops (CMS) • P-spray (Atlas) • Design optimized for irradiation • Guard rings • Unbonded pixel protection Tilman Rohe pixel 2002 D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
Guard ring Design • Guard rings must satisfy two requirements: • Limit the lateral extension of the depletion region • Prevent breakdown at the device edge • These goals can be achieved by: • Gentle potential drop towards the edge • Increasing gaps from inner to outer region • Field plates to reduce the field D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
Guard Ring Performance • Eleven guard ring design (Sintef 1999) • After irradiation • Before irradiation = 61014 neq/cm2 • No breakdown up to 800 V even after irradiation to = 61014 neq/cm2 Guard ring design frozen. D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
N-side isolation • P-stops • Standard processing for most vendors • Additional mask • Alignment and design rules can lead to large gaps • P-sprays • No extra mask • Lower cost • No alignment • Better performance after irradiation • Moderated p-sprays • No additional mask • Good performance before and after irradiation D.

N-side isolation • Sintef 1999 submission focused on double open p-stop ring (CMS Tracker-TDR baseline) • We tested 8 p-stop options. Best designs have open p-stop rings (A, F and G) • Opening between p-stops provides resistive network A : Double open ring F: Single open ring G: Double open ring 2 D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
P-stop performance • Performance was measured before and after irradiation T=-10 0C Design G After irradiation Before irradiation • IV measurements at -10 C after irradiation show: • Vbias< 300 V: Normal operation • 300V< Vbias<550 linear increase of the leakage current from the pixel area (soft breakdown) • Vbias>550V breakdown D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
P-stop performance • TDR Sensor was connected to prototype chip at PSI. • “Soft breakdown” current is draw by few pixels that become noisy at around 300 V • Noisy pixels are uncorrelated to missing bond connections D. Bortoletto - Vertex 2002
P-stop performance • Design with one open ring (F): • Allows for smaller gaps • Shows improved performance after irradiation • No hard breakdown up to 800 V • Lower slope of leakage current increase after “soft breakdown” = 61014 neq/cm2 = 11014 neq/cm2 Design F T=-10 0C = 11014 neq/cm2= 61014neq/cm2 A(TDR) at 300V ~5.0nA/pixel >10nA/pixel G at 300V ~1.9nA/pixel ~5.0nA/pixel F at 300V ~0.5nA/pixel ~4.0nA/pixel D.
