PACSPHOTOMETERDETECTOR ARRAYSREQUIREMENTSSTATUS L. Rodriguez, O. Boulade CEA/DSM/DAPNIA/SAp
Detector array and 300mK readout stage 2 detector arrays linked to a 2K Buffer Unit (BU) by thermally resistive ribbon cables BFP LETI/LIR Deliveries requirement 10 Sub-arrays - 8 for the "Blue" focal plane - 2 for the "red" focal plane
Measured for one ribbon cable 300 mK Thermal budget Electrical dissipation on CL Not done yet, optimisation impossible with CQM Buffer Units due to diodes protections. Conduction from 2K through 300 mK-2 K ribbon cables
Electrical dissipation on BU Conduction from 4 K through 2K-4K ribbon cables Mass budgets of LETI/LIR deliveries 2 K Thermal budget & mass budget Measurements with BOLC => Still 1mW margin ! Will be used to drive signals. Not measured yet (ribbon cables just received)
PACS Bands Absorption curves Blue & Red FP wavelength coverage => Blue arrayfulfils bothbands requirements
Spectral uniformity Blue FP +15% Mean value -15% 60-90µm 90-130 µm +15% Mean value Spectral uniformity Red FP -15% 130-210 µm Spectral response uniformity
QM DEPARTURES FROM FM • Differential mode will be upgraded on FM • BLIND PIXELS: • ON CD=Heaters: a charge resistor @ 300 mK on every blind pixel to prevent "runaway" mode. • ON CL= Bias: bias on blind pixels independent of active pixels. • In case of failure of blind pixels, on selected arrays a degradedmode can be switched on! Gap between arrays already mentioned
Black body @ 21.5 K Chopper @ 25.5 K Detectors performances: responsivity Mean values over the whole array,obtained thanks to optical filters measurements at MPE.
differential mode FM BU Noise distribution Channel linked to the scope Missing channel Detectors performances: noise • On arrays produced in 2000 and 2002 the noise level was dominatedby BU CMOS transistor level (~1µV/√Hz). • The QM BU delivered in 2003 was degraded by contact resistancegenerating Schottky noise 10-100 times higher than before; and clocks response times too low to cope with 40 Hz frame requirement. • We decided to mount FM Buffer Units and tested them independently from arrays.
Functional performances • Multiplexing: 16->1 (by conception) : OK • Yield: on tested QM sub-arraysfunctional-active pixels (~98%)-blind pixels (~87%) but affect active pixels* =>switch able diff. mode. • Detector array dispersion: Gain: ( < 8% RMS req.) Offset:< 20 mV. ( < 50mV req.) • * One blind pixel for 8 active pixels
Time sequence over 511 sec spectral density Detectors performances: NEP • CQM assembly not yet tested at Saclay. • Red CQM delivered this week. • Response measured at Grenoble before BU replacement was 2 1010 V/W. • Long duration measurements on detectors in 2002 don't show 1/f noise excess. Most pixels will be background limited.

We noticed a reversible degradation of the thermometric gainduring irradiations [0 -> 21] kRads. • Tests in particles ( p, a )planned in February at Orsay Tandem facility. • Tests in Heavy Ions planned May -June 2004 at GANIL facility.

CONCLUSIONS • Since IBDR CEA demonstrated the ability to manufacture completedetectors assemblies responding to PACS requirements in a reasonableschedule. • Most encountered problems today are related to the manufacture yield : processes are difficult to stabilize in a context of production rationalisation. • CQM • Our current schedule for the CQM imposes a minimal test period!!! • The Bolometer arrays will be evaluated respectively for 5 days (Red/2 sub-arrays) and 6 days (Blue/ 8 sub arrays) at BFP level. • At PhFPU level the detectors will be integrated with CQM cooler (1st time!)and tested only for 10 days before delivery. • Optimization will be impossible (specially temperature regulation) • Our knowledge of the system will be made at Inst. level tests (if possible).
CONCLUSIONS cont. • FM • BU:Buffer Units (now incorporated in the CQM arrays) show expected performances levels. • CL: 300 mK readout circuits manufactured in // with BU.Not included in CQM because incompatibles with current CD. • CD: (detection layer) modified to improve differential modeoperations are in the final processing phases (see JLA).
