STATUS OF THE CRESCENT FLEX- TAPES FOR THE ATLAS PIXEL DISKS G. Sidiropoulos 1

2 Using the Bonn Quad Flex Design or the Liverpool Quad Flex Pros -Using the Existing Bonn Quad Flex Design -Minimum or virtually no TAB bending -Ideal for use on the bench and interconnect peripherals -Fastest required design time G.Sidiropoulos Cons -Not suitable for the most inner and most outer rings -Tabs may be floppy but stiffeners will be added Prototype Choice New Approach

13 G.Sidiropoulos Diskette Flex Tapes Summary Changed TABs modularity from 9 to 5 per crescent tape Upgraded the Connector to allow more current available to the Quads Using both Connectors and Wire bond fingers (Awaiting info from Ilya) Investigated the short term and fastest to implement solution with an eye on fast prototyping and bench testing as well Design is >70% Complete Received Price Quote for fabrication Investigated Connector Availability Started Investigating a longer term scenario that will cover the most inner and outer rings

14 Something funny for the end. Have a nice Day G.Sidiropoulos

15 Backup Slides G.Sidiropoulos

16 G.Sidiropoulos The Bonn Quad Flex Things to figure out How to handle the tiny parts on the flex for soldering What to use as a rigidizer during the parts assembly on the flex. How to attach/remove it. How to glue the sensors …

17 G.Sidiropoulos What the custom Quad Flex would look like (thanks to some Photoshoping ) Quad Flex Things to figure out Were to put the connector pigtail What would be the length of the pigtail …

19 The layout of the tape for outer Single Ring tape This is the bottom view for the tape. Wire Bonding Footprints are on the bottom side and they will fold facing front Typical TAB dimensions are 47x14mm and EoS part dimensions are 160x42mm. Current Tape width is 13 mm. Ideal would be 15mm to fully readout all modules Note: The ends of the tape near to the pipe are “smoothed” G.Sidiropoulos Replace with Connectors? Replace with Connectors Used in IBL Previous Approach

20 Differential Impedance for the High Speed Traces G.Sidiropoulos We need a lot more material if we have the High speed traces in an internal layer and covered with a top hatched ground plane Source

21 Scenario 2: Using a custom made Quad Flex for the Endcaps Pros -Smaller length on the TABS -Suitable for the most inner and most outer rings -TABS can be bended to be parallel to the Beam pipe G.Sidiropoulos Cons -Requires a custom made Quad Flex design -Several things to ponder on before adopting -Bending tests will be needed Future Choice New Approach

22 Scenario 2: Using a custom made Quad Flex for the Endcaps G.Sidiropoulos Image by Fred Cannaway New Approach

23 Connector Pin-outs G.Sidiropoulos Used on the Bonn Flex Proposed to be used in IBL  Only 2 Diff pairs for read out when 4 are needed (1 per FEI-4). Possible use of multiplexing? Workaround: Add the 20 lines needed onTABs 6-8 Reasons for Using Connectors Drawback: Not enough power pins selected to handle the required current for a Quad Module Drawback: Not enough power pins selected to handle the required current for a Quad Module

24 G.Sidiropoulos Upgrading the Connectors for Higher Current Bottom side of the Bonn flex viewed from top (mirrored) The pin numbering has a circular increasing pattern Pin numbering has an increasing pattern in 2 rows Thus the suggested pin-out for the 40 pin connector on the Quad flex connector has to change again
