Description
Many years of research and development of High Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HVMAPS) have culminated in the final design for the Mu3e pixel detector.
MuPix10 is a fully monolithic sensor with an active pixel matrix size of 20×20mm2 produced in the 180nm HV-CMOS process at TSI Semiconductors. The pixel size is 80×80μm2. Hits are read out using a column drain architecture and sent over up to four serial links with up to 1.6Gbit/s each.
By means of DC/DC converters and exclusive usage of on-chip biasing, MuPix10 is fully operable with a minimal set of electrical connections. This is an integral requirement by the Mu3e experiment since it enables the construction of ultra-thin pixel modules with 1 permil radiation length per
layer. In this talk first results from lab characterisation and testbeam campaigns are presented.
