Description

The n-in-p silicon technology is a promising candidate for the foreseen upgrade steps of the ATLAS Pixel Detector towards HL-LHC. Due to the radiation hardness and cost effectiveness of this technology, it permits to increase the area covered by pixel detectors. Characterization and performance results of n-in-p planar pixel sensors produced by CiS (Germany) connected via bump bonding to the ATLAS readout chip FE-I3 will be presented. The analysis of these devices has been performed before and after irradiation up to a fluence of 1E16 n_eq/cm^2. Charge collection and tracking efficiency studies indicate the functioning of this technology up to this particle fluence. An overview of the on-going pixel production at CiS for sensors compatible with the new ATLAS readout chip FE-I4 will be included.
