This contribution describes the status of the design and evaluation of depleted CMOS sensors within the CERN-RD50 collaboration. In particular, we will present laboratory measurements of RD50-MPW1 and TCAD simulated results of the structures on this chip. The results obtained so far, especially those related to the leakage current generated by the sensors, necessitate the submission of a...
RD50 submitted a pixel detector prototype ASIC in the 150 nm CMOS technology at LFoundry. It contains two matrices of MAPS pixels and few test structures. The test structures include passive pixel arrays near the edge of the chip suitable for E-TCT measurements. The chips were manufactured on p-type silicon with two different initial resistivities around 500 Ohm-cm and 2000 Ohm-cm. Chips were...
With larger and larger areas to be covered for all-silicon trackers and even silicon-based calorimeters, production cost per sensor area and also production turnaround and throughput are becoming important aspects. CMOS foundries have a very large throughput on 8" wafers and may offer very competitive prices, but in turn impose several constraints. The presentation will summarise the pros and...
