IEKP - Universität Karlsruhe (TH) 10 Conclusion We bonded up to 10 pinholes per chip and imposed a current of 300µA/modules (330nA/channel; Vdrop = 0.5V) ~ 5 years of LHC operaton. No saturation of chip seen; but final current level not yet reached. Only 300µA instead of µA Gain loss and change in common mode with increasing leakage current and number of pinholes Pinholes easy to tag with high current.
