N-in-N vs N-in-P • Single sided process • No backside-alignment needed • More foundries available Easier handling/testing, due to lack of patterned back-side implant • Cost-effective • Danger of sparks between chip and sensor ? • Double sided process (more expensive, up to 40%) • Pixel can be shifted below guard-rings • Used already widely (ATLAS, CMS, ...) Issues to compare: Radiation hardness Prevention of edge sparks Edge Cost and handling IPRD13 - 7-10 Oct. 2013, Siena
Radiation hardness and thickness It is well documented that radiation hardness is improved (after high fluences) by thinning the sensors. Good for reducing the material. Radiation hardness of n- and p-type substrates and optimal thickness for the pixel layers is investigated. IPRD13 - 7-10 Oct. 2013, Siena
Radiation hardness of n-in-n and n-in-p sensors • Produced at CiS285 μm • Irradiated up to 2 · 1016neq/cm2 Charge as high as 4.2 ke at 1 kV • FE-I4 chip allows for low thresholds of (1-1.5) ke • Hit efficiency fully recoverable by increasing bias voltage • Irradiated with neutrons p to 1016neq/cm2 • Charge exceeds threshold by a factor 2 • Hit efficiency 98.1 % in central region (losses in punch through bias) T.

Edge sparking issue • At Pixel 2010 T. Rohe reported discharges between sensor and read-out chip. • BCB: No Discharges observed up to 1000 V • Parylene: Tested up to 700 V, no sparks [1]. (Later, other samples, 1000 V) • Silicon adhesive: No discharges observed up to 1000 V Radiation tolerance might require the application of high bias voltage. This might have the risk of edge sparking due to the proximity of the high voltage edge and the grounded edge of the ROC. Several solutions are envisaged to address this problem both in n-in-n and n-in-p readout geometries. N-in-n : backplane guard rings N-in-p : Coating with parylene Edge implant on the sensor to reduce the voltage. Other coatings: glue, silicone adesive, BCB. Different solutions to be implemented at the detector producer or as a post processing step. Optimal solution to be chosen also based on cost and yield. Y.

Geometry optimisation:slim or active edges • Reduce need for overlap or inactive gaps (depending on system geometry and location) IPRD13 - 7-10 Oct. 2013, Siena
Slim or Active Edges: Introduction Reducing the distance from the cut edge to the active area can be implemented by guard ring design and edge passivation or by active edges. • Two approaches for active edges • DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) and side • implantation • DRIE trenching, filling and doping by diffusion • Two approaches (with several variants) to edge isolation • SCP: Scribe-Cleave-Passivate Technology • Backplane Guard-Rings (n-in-n only) Active edge Passivated edge IPRD13 - 7-10 Oct. 2013, Siena

Slim Edges: n-in-n Design Approach • Project by TU Dortmund • Guard Rings are shifted beneath the outermost pixels • Least possible inactive edge ∼ 200μm • Less homogeneous electric field, but charge collection dominated by region directly beneath the pixel implant • Approach adopted in IBL Bottom right: Test design with stepwise shifted pixels, this shows how collected charge is affected due to a less homogeneous electric field when pixels are shifted under the GR’s, bottom left: shows the effect on efficiency for same structure.

Summary • The ATLAS Inner Tracker at the HL-LHC will require a whole new detector, with pixel sensors covering an area exceeding 8 m2. Planar pixels are the obvious solution for most of the layers. The PPS project is making exciting progresses in the various issues posed by this extremely demanding detector. LIKE: • Radiation hardness • Diode geometry (n- or p-type substrates) • Study of different pixel geometries that could be part of the ATLAS ITK • Reduced edges • Quad detectors (not mentioned here, at the moment the likely choice for modules) • Cost reduction IPRD13 - 7-10 Oct. 2013, Siena
Summary The PPS groups use simulation, laboratory measurements and test beams to design and test the advanced solutions proposed. A huge effort is performed and here I only mentioned a few highlights of the common activity. IPRD13 - 7-10 Oct. 2013, Siena
