(IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE, VOL. 58, NO. 3, JUNE 2011) Sensor Technology is better in terms of achievable resolution Planar Compared to “p-in-n” detectors: Radiation hardness Compared to “n-in-n” detectors: Advantages of the “n-in-p” process Possibility of back-thinning for low material budget Low manufacturing costs (single-side processing) Easy mechanical handling of the backplane Bulk type does not invert - can be operated under-depleted, - relaxed temperature conditions, - simpler data analysis.

Planar Sensor R&D Page 3 Readout implants (strips or pixels): granularity, fill factor -> photon / particle detection, analogue / binary readout Implant termination (guard structure) Design features: field plates, biasing scheme, bonding and test contacts, etc. Dicing: saw cut, laser cut, scribing and breaking Operating conditions and maintenance: radiation dose, bias voltage, temperature profile (annealing) Strip detector Pixel detector Design goals: spatial resolution and efficiency

Pixel sensors for the VELO upgrade Page 13 New 6 inch wafer submitted to Micron Semiconductor to be manufactured in “n-in-p” technology Contains tiles and single chip sensors with various dicing options.
Options for Readout Implants Page 14 Further studies require readout system and ASIC stock Medipix subscription fee ~100k Proposal to design a generic 50 x 50 um amplifier-peak detector cell that could be used to compile the analogue readout chip of any geometry for studies of pixels. Chip production through multi- project wafer runs (~7k each, 50 dice guaranteed).
