2 Outline A novel detector concept –“Stripixel” detector –Advantage & Disadvantage Recent developments –PHENIX Vertex Detector –Other applications Summary

3 A Novel Silicon Detector Concept “Stripixel” detector concept innovated by Z. Li of Brookhaven National Laboratory : Z. Li, NIMA518, 738 (2004). THE outstanding feature is 2-D position sensitivity with single-sided processing. Hybrid structure of both strips and pixels –Two interleaved electrodes in each pixel –Projective readout by strips on the single-side –2-D position sensitivity achieved by charge-sharing –Effectively functions as single-sided 2-D strip detector Two types of stripixel structure –ASD : Alternating Stripixel Detector –ISD : Interleaved Stripixel Detector

4 ASD : Alternating Stripixel Detector Individual pixels are alternately connected by X- and Y-strips. Two dimensional position sensitivity is achieved by charge- sharing between X- and Y-pixels. X-strip Y-strip X-pixel Y-pixel

5 ISD : Interleaved Stripixel Detector Each pixel is divided into interleaved X- and Y-cell and is connected by X- and Y-strips, respectively. Two dimensional position sensitivity is achieved by charge- sharing between X- and Y-cells. X-strip Y-strip X-cellY-cell

6 Advantage / Disadvantage Common to ASD and ISD –Simple structure : reduce costs and integration issues –Radiation hard as usual single-sided detector –Single-polarity of readout electronics –Decrease of signals due to charge-sharing scheme ASD –Sub-micron position resolution achievable with the order of a few μm pixel pitches. –The pixel pitch cannot be lager than the size of charge cloud caused by diffusion process (< 20μm). ISD –Large capacitance per strip due to the interleaving scheme –Suitable for “short-strip” detector

There are/will be a lot of applications. The preliminary results of the prototype for PHENIX Vertex Detector are very encouraging. R&Ds towards the final design are going on. Improved designs (e.g. AC-coupling stripixel detector etc) are anticipated in the (near) future.
