Expertise: Sensor Design

• Sensor design– Design is programmed and

automatically drawn– Self-programmed software framework

• Collaboration with detector producers– Hamamatsu, Micron, ITE Warsaw

• Microscopic and spectroscopic analysis to verify actual processed sensor– Collaboration with Center for Electron

Microscopy at TU Vienna

Expertise: Electrical CharacterisationAvailable Setups:

• Global IV, CV measurements

• Fully automatic strip-by-strip

measurements performed by motorized

XYZ-table

• Cold chuck to test at different

temperatures

Goals are:

• Quality assurance for mass

production (e.g. CMS, soon Belle II)

• Report back to producer

• Select good sensors for module

production



7

Expertise: Module Construction


• Tasks to perform:• Gluing, metrology, wire-bonding

• Modules for• CMS Tracker mass production• Trapezoidal prototype modules

for Belle II


8

Expertise: Beam Tests


• Regular beam tests to test sensors and modules• Usually at CERNs SPS secondary

beam lines• In cooperation with HEPHY

electronics group and international colleagues (SiLC, EUDET)

• Different main goals:• 2008: resolution studies of sensors

with different layout (ILC)• 2009: performance of double metal

layers for routing purpose (CMS)• 2010: performance of double sided

sensors with different p-stop patterns (Belle II)


9

New Expertise: Neutron-Irradiation


• Irradiation of silicon sensors at TRIGA Mark II nuclear reactor at ATI Vienna (“Atominstitut der TU Wien”)• Easy access• High neutron flux

• Test of silicon sensors:• For CMS upgrade R&D• n- vs. p-type substrate• Float zone vs. mCz vs. Epitaxial material

• First in-situ temperature measurement of nuclear reactor’s irradiation channels• Necessary to know for the understanding

of the annealing behavior in silicon sensors


10

New Expertise: Gamma-Irradiation


• Irradiation of prototype Belle II modules at Co-60 source in Mol, Belgium

• Test of • Silicon sensors• readout electronics, • voltage regulators,

temp/humidity sensors

• Joint effort of semiconductor/electronics department


11

Expertise: Analysis


• Baby sensors using 3 different inter-strip isolation layout on n-side
