1. A. Dorokhov, IPHC, Strasbourg, France 1 Description of pixel designs in Mimosa22 Andrei Dorokhov Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien (IPHC) Strasbourg, France 03/04/2008 e-mail address: Andrei.Dorokhov@IReS.in2p3.fr

2. A. Dorokhov, IPHC, Strasbourg, France 2 Pixel designs  Standard and Radiation tolerant nwell diode designs  Different schematic concepts: 1.Reset diode and standard amplifier (like in Mimosa8) 2.Reset diode and amplifier with improved load 3.Continuously biased (self-biased) from feedback and amplifier with improved load (like in Mimisa15 test structures and Mimosa16) 4.Reset diode from feedback, time variant feedback, amplifier with improved load (similar to Mimosa1819 test structures) 5.Reset diode from feedback, time variant feedback, standard amplifier  CDS with clamping capacitance

3. A. Dorokhov, IPHC, Strasbourg, France 3 Nwell diode designs  Size from 3.4 um x 3.4 um - to 4.5 um x 4.5 um  Standard with thick oxide around Nwell  Radiation tolerant with thin gate oxide around Nwell

9. A. Dorokhov, IPHC, Strasbourg, France 9 Summary of pixel concepts  (1,2) reset (and amplifier bias) from constant voltage  - may be difficult to find working point due to CMOS process variation  - diode leakage current dispersion after irradiation may significantly degrade performance  (3) self-biased from feedback  + performances should be more stable to process variation  + diode leakage is compensated by forwardly biased diode  - “pedestal memory effect” from previous hit, even removed after CDS, changing the performance of amplifier  (4,5) reset from feedback  + more stable performances for process variation  - diode leakage current dispersion after irradiation will significantly degrade performance

11. A. Dorokhov, IPHC, Strasbourg, France 11 Measurement results 1. Short results summary of measurements and analysis from Mathieu Goffe: 1.S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, S12, S13, S15, S16, S17 are working fine at standard conditions at 100MHz clock 2.For working pixels the charge collection in seed ~30%, cluster 3x3: 60-80%, in cluster 5x5 : 80-90%, noise from 10e to 13e 3.The other pixels have to be investigated further – one need to vary the frequency, readout pattern, analogue voltages – at least to understand the reason why they don’t show good performances seen in simulations (this is foreseen for the end of April) 2.However, there are at least few working amplifier concepts:1,2,3. 3.Two designs S6 and S10 have different concepts: reset and self- biased from feedback, they are featured with radiation tolerant version of nwell diode -> one can have close look at their performances

16. A. Dorokhov, IPHC, Strasbourg, France 16 Influence of pixel hit frequency 1. Designs with reset are not sensitive to “memory” effect – charge is always restored to a fixed value 2. Continuously biased diode will store some fraction of charge from previously incident particle, even if the signal completely reconstructed after CDS, there is “internal memory” in the nwell diode -> charge is accumulated and circuit can go to non-linear state

17. A. Dorokhov, IPHC, Strasbourg, France 17 Influence of pixel hit frequency: simulation 1. Single pixel hit frequency 2Hz for 30um x 30um pitch 2. Noise – Gaus : SIGMA=15 e 3.Signal - Landau distribution: MPV=200e, SIGMA=50e 4.Initial nwell diode voltage 0.7 V 5.Amplifier gain -10, offset 1.1 V 6.Frame readout (integration time) time 160 us (==1000 pixels in column, 100MHz clock)
