Description
The first upgrade of the ATLAS Pixel Detector will consist in the installation of a new pixel layer during the shutdown of
the LHC machine in 2013. The new detector, called Insertable B-Layer (IBL), will be inserted between the existing Pixel Detector and a new (smaller radius) beam-pipe, at an average sensor radius of 3.4 cm. The IBL requires the development of several new technologies to cope with the increase of radiation and pixel occupancy at such a reduced radius. In particular 3D sensors will be installed in the
outermost part of the new detector.
An overview of the 3D sensor production for IBL done at CNM and FBK will be given, together with first results after module integration with FE-I4 and full assembly.
