The Gossip chip is being developed to\nserve as a read-out array for such a gas-filled detector. Thanks to t he very low\ncapacitance at the preamplifier input\, the front-end of the chip demonstrates\nlow-noise performance in combination with a fast peakin g time and low analog power\ndissipation. Measurement of the drift time of every primary electron enables 3D\nreconstruction of the particle’s tra ck. For this purpose Time-to-Digital converter\nmust be placed in each pix el. \nA small-scale prototype of the GOSSIP chip has been developed in the 0.13μm CMOS\ntechnology. The prototype includes a 16 by 16 pixel array. Each pixel is equipped\nwith the front-end circuit\, threshold DAC\, and a high resolution 4-bit TDC. \nThe chip will be available for testing in Ma y 2007 and after initial tests it will be\nprocessed to build a prototype detector.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=24&ses sionId=11&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=24&sessionId=11 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:MAPS in 130 nm and 90 nm triple well CMOS technologies for HEP app lications DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070906T144500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070906T144500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130525T172015Z UID:indico-contribution-11994-25@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. POZZATI\, Enrico (Università di Pavia)\nIn this work deep N-well CMOS monolithic active pixel sensors\n(DNW-MAPS) are pre sented as an alternative approach to signal processing\nin high energy phy sics experiments.

The process we used is a 0.15um CMOS\, fully-depleted SOI technology deve loped by OKI Electronics Industry Co.

Although the handle wafer is normally just a physical structure in the SOI device\, we developed a process to create p-n junctions in the handle wafer and connect them to transistors in SOI layer. Thus the handle wafer can be used as a radiation sensor.\nSince there is no mechanical bonding between the sensor and electronics\, the capacitance of the sensor node is very low and it has excellent sensitivity to irradiation. By thinning the handle wafer\, we can make low-material pixel detectors.\nWe submitted f irst test designs at the end of 2005\, and had successful results of test chips consisting of a 32x32 pixel detector\, strip detectors and front-end electronics chips. At the end of 2006\, we then performed our own MPW (Mu lti Project Wafer) run by collecting 17 different designs from US and Japa nese universities/laboratories. \nThe OKI SOI process and the results from this MPW run are presented.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay. py?contribId=108&sessionId=9&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=108&sessionId=9 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:3D System Integration for high density interconnects DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070905T074500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070905T083000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130525T172015Z UID:indico-contribution-11994-109@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. WIELAND\, Robert ()\n3D-Integration is a promisi ng technology towards higher interconnect densities and shorter wiring len gths between multiple chip stacks\, thus achieving a very high performance level combined with low power consumption. This technology also offers th e possibility to build up systems with high complexity by combining device s of different technologies. Ultra thin silicon is the base of this integr ation technology. The fundamental processing steps will be described\, as well as appropriate handling concepts. \nThree main concepts for 3D integr ation have been developed at IZM. The approach with the greatest flexibili ty\, called Inter Chip Via - Solid Liquid Interdiffusion (ICV-SLID)\, is i ntroduced. This is a chip-to-wafer stacking technology which combines the advantages of the Inter Chip Via (ICV) process and the solid-liquid-interd iffusion technique (SLID) of copper and tin. The fully modular ICV-SLID co ncept allows the formation of multiple device stacks. A test chip was desi gned and the total process sequence of the ICV-SLID technology for the rea lization of a three-layer chip-to-wafer stack was demonstrated. The propos ed wafer-level 3D integration concept has the potential to build multi-lay er high-performance chip stacks and is well suited as a replacement for em bedded technologies based on monolithic integration. To address yield issu es\, a wafer-level chip-scale handling is presented as well\, to select kn own-good dies and work on them with wafer-level process sequences before j oining them to integrated stacks.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDis play.py?contribId=109&sessionId=9&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=109&sessionId=9 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Field-programmable technology: today's and tomorrow's DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070904T074500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070904T083000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130525T172015Z UID:indico-contribution-11994-102@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. LUK\, Wayne (Computer Engineering\, Imperial C ollege)\nThe latest field-programmable technology\, with enhanced processi ng\, storage and interface capacity\, enables the development of powerful and flexible systems that can be customised for specific applications and operating conditions.

This requires a very precise tracking capability to record the paths of thousands of particles produced in the collisions. ALICE is therefore built around the largest Time Projection Chamber (TPC) in the world. The t ask of large acceptance tracking in a heavy ion experiment is similar to t hat encountered in the NA49 and STAR experiments at the SPS and RHIC respe ctively. However\, the extreme multiplicities of ion collisions at the LHC set qualitatively and quantitatively new demands making new designs indis pensable. The construction and assembly of the ALICE TPC were completed in 2006. Before being lowered to the underground experimental area\, an exte nsive commissioning was carried out with cosmic rays and tracks produced b y a UV laser system. In January 2007\, the TPC was transferred into the AL ICE underground area\, where it will be put into service by summer 2007 to be ready for first collisions in spring 2008. This paper presents an over view of the main components\, with special focus on the front-end and read out electronics\, and some of the most crucial aspects addressed by the R& D activities that have preceded the design and construction of the ALICE T PC. The commissioning\, including preliminary results from the analysis of data on noise\, electron diffusion\, drift velocity\, and spatial resolut ion\, will be also presented.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay .py?contribId=100&sessionId=0&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=100&sessionId=0 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Fault-tolerant and radiation-hardened SPARC processors DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070904T070000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070904T074500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130525T172015Z UID:indico-contribution-11994-101@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. GAISLER\, Jiri (Gaisler Research AB)\nThe paper will describe the development and status of radiation- hardened SPARC proc essors.

The MUCTPI\nconnects the output of the muon trigger system to the CTP. At every bunch\ncrossing it receives information on muon candidates from each of the 208 muon\ntrigger sectors and calculates the total multiplicity for each of six pT\nthresho lds. The CTP combines information from calorimeter and the MUCTPI\nand mak es the final Level-1 Accept (L1A) decision on the basis of lists of\nselec tion criteria (trigger menus). The MUCTPI and the CTP provide trigger\nsum mary information to the data acquisition system (DAQ) and the Level-2\ntri gger for every event selected at the Level-1. They further provide\naccumu lated and\, for the CTP\, bunch-by-bunch scaler data for monitoring\nof th e trigger\, detector and beam conditions. The TTC partitions send timing\, \ntrigger and control signals from the CTP to the sub-detectors and receiv e\nbusy signals which can throttle the generation of L1As.

The low voltage power supply incorp orates a ceramic transformer which utilizes piezoelectric effect to conver t voltage. The ceramic transformer isolates the secondary from the primary \, thus providing the ground isolation between the supply and the output v oltages. The ceramic transformer takes the place of the conventional magne tic transformer. The ceramic transformer is constructed from a ceramic bar and does not include any magnetic material. So the low voltage power sup ply can operate under a magnetic field. \n\nThe output voltage is stabiliz ed by feedback. A feedback loop includes an error amplifier\, a voltage co ntrolled oscillator and a driver circuit. The amplitude ratio of the trans former has dependence on the frequency\, which is utilized to stabilize th e output voltage.\n\nThe low voltage power supply is investigated on the a nalogy of the high voltage power supply similarly incorporating the cerami c transformer. Stability of the power supplies is studied from the theoret ical viewpoint of stability.

The hit data has to be read out and must be digitized\, synchronized\, formatted and transferred over the S-Link to the final CMS DAQ. The amount of data c an only be handled because the readout chip (ROC) delivers zero-suppressed data above an adjustable threshold for every pixel.\nThe Pixel FED 9U VME module receives an optical analogue signal\, which is subsequently digiti zed and processed. The position of the pixel on a module is transmitted wi th 5 symbols coded in 6 pulse height steps each. The data of 36 inputs fro m one event build a final event data block. The main challenge is that the information which arrives on the different inputs at the same time can be from different events and can differ up to 16 events depending on the num ber of hit pixels in past. That is possible because the ROC has a multi ev ent memory and the input data length can be very different. Finally the in formation will be transferred over the S-Link to the CMS DAQ. Each module must be able to process more than 100 kHz trigger rate or if in trouble to send an alarm signal. The number of inputs is limited by the maximum data transmission rate of the S-Link (640 MB/s) for the expected high luminosi ty of LHC.\nThe data flow on the module is continuously controlled. Errors are written in an error memory\, included in the data stream and if criti cal sent to the general CMS readout control.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/cont ributionDisplay.py?contribId=72&sessionId=29&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=72&sessionId=29 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The GBT\, a Proposed Architecture for Multi-Gbps Data Transmission in High Energy Physics DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070905T151000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070905T153500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130525T172015Z UID:indico-contribution-11994-71@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: MOREIRA\, Paulo (CERN)\nThe future upgrade of the LH C accelerator\, the SLHC\, will increase the beam luminosity by a factor o f ten leading to a corresponding growth of the amounts of data to be treat ed by the data transmission and acquisition systems. The development of th e GBT ASIC addresses this issue providing a means to increase the bandwidt h available to transmit the data to and from the counting room. The GBT ar chitecture will provide the support to transmit simultaneously the three t ypes of data required to run an experiment in a hostile radiation environm ent over a multipurpose link. This paper will describe the GBT architectur e and some aspects of its detailed implementation.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.c h/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=71&sessionId=16&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=71&sessionId=16 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The ATLAS Level-1 Muon to Central Trigger Processor Interface DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070906T144500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070906T144500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130525T172015Z UID:indico-contribution-11994-70@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. HAAS\, Stefan (CERN)\nThe Muon to Central Trigge r Processor Interface (MUCTPI) is part of the ATLAS Level-1 trigger system and connects the output of muon trigger system to the Central Trigger Pro cessor (CTP). At every bunch crossing\, the MUCTPI receives information on muon candidates from each of the 208 muon trigger sectors and calculates the total multiplicity for each of six pT thresholds. This multiplicity va lue is then sent to the CTP\, where it is used together with the input fro m the Calorimeter trigger to take the final Level-1 decision. In addition the MUCTPI provides data to the Level-2 trigger and to the data acquisitio n (DAQ) system for events selected at Level-1. This information is used to define regions of interest (RoIs) that drive the Level-2 muon-trigger pro cessing.\nThe MUCTPI system consists of a 9U VME64x chassis with a special backplane and 18 custom designed modules. Each of the 16 octant modules ( MIOCT) receives and processes the muon candidate data from 13 sectors of t he muon trigger detectors. It calculates the local muon candidate multipli cities and avoids double counting of muon tracks detected in overlapping s ectors of an octant. The MIBAK backplane sums the multiplicity values of a ll MIOCT modules and also provides for readout data transfer and distribut ion of timing and trigger signals to all the modules in the chassis. The M ICTP receives the external timing and triggers signals and sends the final multiplicity value to the CTP. The MIROD module collects information from the MICTP and the MIOCT modules and sends this data after formatting to t he Level-2 trigger and the DAQ system via an optical S-LINK interface. The design of the modules is based on state-of-the-art FPGA devices and speci al attention was paid to low-latency in the data transmission and processi ng.\nWe present the design and implementation of the final version of the MUCTPI. Results from integration testing with the CTP\, the muon trigger s ystem as well as the DAQ and Level-2 systems including data from cosmic ra y runs will also be shown.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py ?contribId=70&sessionId=29&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=70&sessionId=29 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Development of a selftriggered high counting rate ASIC for readout of 2D gas microstrip neutron detectors.

Each channel delivers position information\, a fast time stamp of 2 ns resolution and signal amplitude proportional to th e energy. The time stamp is used for correlating the signals from X and Y strips while the amplitude is used for finding center of gravity of a clus ter of strips. The timing and energy information are stored in derandomizi ng buffers and readout via token ring architecture.\n\nhttp://indico.cern. ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=79&sessionId=11&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=79&sessionId=11 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:R/O Device based on USB1.0 for Spectroscopy DAQ DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070906T144500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070906T144500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130525T172015Z UID:indico-contribution-11994-78@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. MASEK\, Petr (FEE CVUT Prague\, Czech Republic)\ nA novel read-out (R/O) device based on universal series bus (USB1.0) for spectroscopy data acquisition (DAQ) together with software controlling ana log-to-digital converters (type of Canberra\, model 8715) will be presente d. The interface exploiting the USB1.0 standard has two advantages: USB1.0 is spread out on all platforms and almost computers are equipped with thi s communication port\; and\, the speed of such devices (about 1Mb/s) is su fficient for spectroscopy with average number of events detected per secon d at the level up-to 50kHz. FTDI chips together with prepared software lib raries of the Future Technology Devices International Ltd. were used for t he realization of several examples of the read-out device. The response of the constructed devices was compared with the response of a Cicero multi- channel analyzer made by Silena. Equal devices were also tested using stat istical tests with intention to verify their perfect functionality as well as their long-term stability. Results of these tests will be also present ed.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=78&sessionId =29&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=78&sessionId=29 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:A circuit topology suitable for the readout of ultra thin pixel de tectors at SLHC and elsewhere DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070905T153500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20070905T160000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130525T172015Z UID:indico-contribution-11994-47@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. CAMPBELL\, Michael (CERN)\nHybrid pixel detector s provide unrivalled pattern recognition capabilities at LHC \nvertex dete ctors. Further reducing the material budget is of crucial importance \namo ng the many challenges which must be addressed by the vertex systems at \n SLHC. We propose a two stage front-end pixel readout architecture whereby \nthe discrimination is performed on the sum of the total charge deposited in four \nneighbouring pixels prior to readout of the analog or binary hi t information per \npixel. In this way it may be possible to reduce the de tector thickness from some \n100um to 50um while maintaining a high separa tion of signal\, threshold and \nnoise.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contribut ionDisplay.py?contribId=47&sessionId=16&confId=11994 LOCATION:Prague URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=47&sessionId=16 &confId=11994 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
