Current Status • AFE II Prototype Testing Complete • Detailed ch by ch testing has been done • 3071 good channels out of 3072 through comprehensive test • Continuing with some long-term (weeks) testing of cryo control and stability on the VLPC CC cryostat • Packaged TriPt (MOSIS) in house • TriPt/FPIX submission - OUT • Design input for AFE IIt board finished • Schematic Complete – 6/20 4 weeks behind - but • Layout Complete – 6/28 about 2 weeks behind • We have authorized OT and it is being used • Will try to add a second Layout tech towards the end. For technical reasons this is not appropriate at this time • Only issue • Could use 1 additional person to work on FPGA programming
Current Status AFE II Prototype - Noise 1 pe »6 fC
Current Status - TriPt • Out for Fab Proposed reticule layout for TriPt/FPIX Proposed wafter map 70 reticules
Current Status - TriPt • TriPt: • Packaged “MOSIS” parts are here • Robot tester work progressing: adapter board in layout (estimate: 1 week) • Mechanical parts for robot complete
Response to Recommendations from Director’s Review • We have modified the project plan to include: • A second submission of the TriPt chip • This, of course, does produce a delay in the project completion. The funds are there if needed, however • We believe that the probability for a successful run is very high • Production of 350 boards. • Over time for layout technician(s) for AFE IIt board • Bob Demaat has joined the AFE IIt project as L2 production manager • Weekly reporting will occur via the AFE IIt production meeting with progress and schedule status from the L3 managers written up and published as minutes of this meeting
