Description

This paper reports the development of a novel p-on-n thin edgeless planar sensor for a hybrid pixel detector, compatible with the ALICE front-end electronics, fabricated by FBK-CMM on epitaxial material. The aim of this development is to manufacture a hybrid pixel detector of very low material budget compared to the state-of-the-art of such devices. This task has been carried on following a two-steps approach. First, pixel sensors fabricated on epitaxial wafers have been thinned down to 100 μm after bump deposition and then flip-chip bonded to ALICE readout chips. The performance of the detector has been studied in a beam test performed at the CERN SPS; results on detection efficiency and cluster size as a function of the depletion voltage, the discriminator threshold and the track incidence angle will be discussed. The second phase, the “active edge” concept has been exploited in order to reduce the dead area at the periphery of the device. An overview of the key technological steps and the first electrical characterization of this type of sensors will be given.
