ATLAS Pixel Opto-link VCSEL:Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser diode VDC:VCSEL Driver Circuit PIN:PiNdiode DORIC:Digital Optical Receiver Integrated Circuit Opto-board: this board holds the VDCs, DORICs, PINs, VCSELS use BeO as substrate for heat management Richard Kass/OSU
VCSEL Driver Circuit Specs • Convert LVDS input signal into single-ended signal appropriate to drive the VCSEL diode • Output (bright) current: 0 to 20 mA, controlled by external voltage • Standing (dim) current: ~ 1 mA to improve switching speed • Rise & fall times: 1 ns nominal (80 MHz signals) • Duty cycle: (50 +/- 4)% • “On” voltage of VCSEL: up to 2.3 V at 20 mA for 2.5 V supply • Constant current consumption! • Current design uses TRUELIGHT “high power oxide” VCSELs Richard Kass/OSU

Status of VDC and DORIC VDC and DORIC produced using IBM 0.25mm CMOS process Migrated ATLAS SCT’s VDC & DORIC design in AMS 0.8mm Bipolar to DMILL DMILL (0.8mm CMOS) process met e-specs but was not rad hard enough VDC-I5e and DORIC-I5e: our fifth IBM submission Use CADENCE program 5 layers, enclosed layout transistors and guard rings 4 channels per chip (VDC: 1.4mm´4mm DORIC: 2.3mm´4mm) engineering run, produced enough chips for production Received chips in June 2003 Electrical measurements performed on these chips: detailed measurements of many parameters: rise/fall time, duty cycle, bright/dim current… VDC-I5e and DORIC-I5e are acceptable for use in pixel detector Need to certify that these chips are radiation hard previous VDC and DORIC version (I4) rad hard to > 50Mrad detailed plan to certify radiation hardness Richard Kass/OSU

Status of BeO Opto-Board converts electricalÛoptical 6-7 links/board First BeO opto-boards arrive in April. Find problems: many vias not filled. Send boards back to company for repair. Company only partially successful with repairs (~50% success rate) We find a new company to produce the boards (more $$$ too) two populated opto-boards used for rad-hardness tests Richard Kass/OSU
Radiation Hardness MeasurementsCERN August 2003 Important to measure/certify radiation hardness of optical components VDC DORIC VCSEL Fibers Glues, etc… Use CERN’s T7 beam (24 GeV protons) for radiation hardness studies. We perform two types of radiation hardness tests: Cold Box: read out VDC and DORIC electrically (copper wires) Shuttle: readout VDC and DORIC via optical fibers VDC and DORICs mounted on BeO opto-board shuttle can be moved in and out of beam remotely For both tests we monitor the VDCs and DORICs in real time.

Summary and Conclusions VDC and DORIC chips satisfy ATLAS Specs BeO Opto-board: Original vendor not able to produce quality boards Have found new vendor Þ updated layout submitted Radiation studies: Cold Box: VDC and DORIC are more than hard enough! Shuttle: VCSEL radiation hardness an issue will VCSELs anneal enough to meet power specs ? Move to Production in 2004 ~500 VDCs, ~400 DORICs, ~200 opto-boards (includes spares) Richard Kass/OSU
