1. Total dose effect: 10Mrad (x-ray, 10 KeV peak) at a dose rate of 10.06 Krad(SiO2)/min. No current increase after the irradiation.

2. SEU: 60 MeV proton, fluence of 3×1012 p/cm2 at a flux of 3×108p/cm2sec. No SEU was observed.

Requirements: 10 to 100 Mrad and 1015 to 1016p/cm2 fluence.

3. BER tests in lab: better than 1.3×10-14.

4. Power consumption: 400 mW.


Test of the GOL chipTest of the GOL chip

We plan:

A complete chip characterizing according to the IEEE Gigabit Ethernet standard. This includes rise/fall times, eye mask test, jitter studies (DJ and RJ at all 4 testing points of the link system, jitter transfer of the GOL), optical power margin (again in the link system). We did this for the G-Link for the LAr optical link. Agilent didn’t provide it in the data sheet.

The PLL lock range. Probe the total dose limit to see if it reaches 100 Mrad.

Measure SEUs at different flux levels, using 200 MeV proton beams.

Gain experience of using this chip, should it be suitable to inner detector upgrade.

Why SoSWhy SoS

There is no guarantee that GOL can withstand ~10 times more radiation than what has been tested.

We do not know if more bandwidth would be needed.

We are designing a Link-on-Chip ASIC for the LAr upgrade. This chip may be used for the ID upgrade as well.

This project has just been started. Here I report on the first irradiation test and the actions we take based on the preliminary result.


The Irradiation of one SoS chipThe Irradiation of one SoS chip

A laser driver chip based on 0.5 m SoS technology was irradiated at MGH (230 MeV proton).

Total dose: 116 Mrad. Error free at 1.5 krad/sec and up to 17 Mrad. LAr upgrade

okay. Observed current increase at very high dose rate.


The SoS test chip The SoS test chip

In CMOS layout, the technique to combat the leakage current is the enclosed layout transistor (ELT) and the guard-ring around the transistors. In SoS, only ELT is needed.

We will use the new 0.25 m SoS technology for the LOC design. In order to probe the total dose limit, to check ELT on SoS, and to check layout parameters on design blocks like the PLL, we submitted a dedicated test chip mid October.

The test of this chip is in preparation (3 slides back) and the irradiation test is aimed for April 2006.

Looking for E/O devicesLooking for E/O devices

We also started to look for laser diodes. We tested two surface emitting lasers. One long wavelength and can couple to single mode fiber, one VCSEL. The preliminary results are briefly reported here.

Preliminary test results on the ULM 10 GHz VCSEL:We irradiated 2 ULM 10 GHz VCSELs at MGH. The VCSEL were biased during irradiation. The total dose received is 116 Mrad.

All DC parameters are still within spec after the irradiation.

SummarySummary

The GOL test program has been started and is on track.

We designed and submitted a dedicated SoS test chip to check out layout techniques and measure related parameters. The lab and irradiation tests of this chip is in preparation.

We have tested the GSE lasers and find them useful in 11 Mrad environment. The GSE lasers can couple to single mode fibers. The results are accepted for publishing by Photonics Technology Letters (PLT).

We have identified a 10 GHz VCSLE and preliminary test results show potential in use with 100 Mrad. More tests are on going and more VCSELs will be tested.
