Hybrid Pixels Detector for LHC/HL-LHC at CERN
USTC, April 11, 2013 Patrick Pangaud - CPPM-IN2P3-CNRS
LHC : Luminosity of 1034 cm-2.s-1
HL-LHC expected 10 times more luminosity, more pixels, more ionizing particles, more
… !!!
Whatever will be discovered in next years at LHC, need much data to understand what has been discovered.
Higher luminosity allows extending discovery/studies to • higher masses• processes of lower cross-section
LHC has plans of upgrade by increasing luminosity to collect ultimately ~ 3000 fb-1 .This will open new physics possibilities.

ATLAS upgrade
USTC, April 11, 2013 Patrick Pangaud - CPPM-IN2P3-CNRS 6
• LHC improves, bulk of luminosity with instantaneous luminosity beyond the nominal luminosity for which the ATLAS detector was designed and built.
• Technology improves, can build better performing detector now.
• Detectors age, after the nominal integrated luminosity has been collected, leading to deterioration of performance during the runs at higher luminosity.
• It will take long time to study and build new detector
• Installation has to be done during the limited number of long shut downs
• Installation has to be planned to be prepared to the new running condition

USTC, April 11, 2013 Patrick Pangaud - CPPM-IN2P3-CNRS
• Need for a new FE?• Smaller b-layer radius + potential luminosity increase higher hit rate.
FE-I3 column-drain architecture saturated.
FE-I4 new digital architecture: local regional memories,stop moving hits around (unless RO).
FE-I4 has smaller pixel (reduced cross-section).
• New technology: Higher integration density for digital circuits, rad-hard, availibility.

Future FE-I4-Based Module and Consequences for FE-I4
USTC, April 11, 2013 Patrick Pangaud - CPPM-IN2P3-CNRS 10
• Increased active area: from less than 75 % to ~90 %: Reduced periphery; bigger IC; cost down for sLHC (main driver is flip-chip costs per chip).
• No MCC: More digital functionality in the IC.
• Power: Analog design for reduced currents; decrease of digital activity (digital logic sharing for neighbor pixels); new powering concepts. 8 metal layers [2 thick Alu.] power routing.

Motivation for Redesign of FE
USTC, April 11, 2013 Patrick Pangaud - CPPM-IN2P3-CNRS
• Need for a new FE?• Accommodate higher hit rate (smaller b-layer radius + luminosity
increase) Architecture based on local memories (no column-drain mechanism).
• Smaller pixel size: enhanced granularity and reduced cross-section.• Reduced periphery & bigger chip: higher active area fraction (<75%
~90%); cost down for sLHC (main driver is flip-chip, costs per chip).Big chip a challenge: power (routing, start-up), clk. distrib., yield…
• Simple module: No Module Controller More digital functions into the FE.
• Power efficient design & new concepts: Analog design for reduced currents; decrease of digital activity (digital logic sharing for neighbor pixels); new powering concepts. 8 metal layers [2 thick Alu.] Power routing.
• New technology:• Higher integration density for digital circuits, radiation-hardness (no
Enclosed Layout Transistor), availability on timescales of our experiments.

65nm motivations• For the HL-LHC (Phase 2) a new pixel detector is planned
• 2 removable internal layers are planned ( 3.9 cm – 7.5 cm)• The event rate is high and the FE-I4 architecture is not adapted• The Total Dose is ~ 1GRad
• A new design is required• Reduction of the pixel size for the inner layers
• R&D : CMOS 65 nm, 3D, Monolithic designCMOS 65 nm is an attractive solution for the development of high-density readout IC.

65nm prototyping TSMC 65 nm process allows good tolerance to SEU. However the tolerance of TSMC-ARM digital cells have to be
investigated for high dose level : 1000 Mrad
Dose effect : Simulations are in progress to check if there are “sensitive” devices inside the Library DFF cell.
New designs are in development : different structures of configuration memories, IP blocs : ADC, Voltage reference
First submission of 65nm CMOS IP blocks (plus individual narrow test transistors) is foreseen at CPPM in June or September 2013.

Context : Pixel trackers for high luminosity• HL LHC : high luminosity, high pile up, high dose
To keep the tracker performance one need to improve pixel granularity : • reduce occupancy , improve resolution (and 2 tracks separation) , reduce
inefficiencies in the readout.• Several ways for hybrid pixels detectors
• move to higher density technologies like 65 nm (shrinking technology )• move to 3D electronics with in-pixel TSVs (vertical stacking)• move to CMOS HV (where the sensor can be in the same circuit as the
analog amplification)

Understanding the Basic Principles of 3-D Integration
• Vias• Via First – done at foundry, lowest cost• Via last – after wafers are made, often done by third party
vendors.• General movement in industry toward via first approach
• Bonding options • Mechanical bond only, electrical connections later
• Oxide to oxide bonding• Adhesive such as BCB
• Mechanical and electrical connection formed together• CuSn Eutectic• CuCu Fusion • Direct Bond Interconnect – combination of oxide bonding and metal
fusion• Thinning• Alignment

(one-bit latch/ pixel), a counter,
• 11 DRUM cells (noise generators to study the coupling between tiers) which can be activated individually. Each DRUM cell layout is facing one
specific area (sub-part) of the analog pixel. To test the

Each drum is separately activated. The noise is measured on column 7 (without any shield) (noise of 116e- with all drum OFF).
The most sensitive parts are those directly connected to the input (bump area, injection capacitor) : Not a big surprise but it confirms that the others parts are not sensitive to the digital tier.

3D Project : test structures • From the first 3D prototype made for the ATLAS Project, some test were done to measure TSV and Bond-Interface performance.
• The TSV (Through Silicon Via) consists of a vertical conductor, often referred to as “nail” or “plug”, entirely crossing the Si substrate of the stacked dies. Measure the TSV
daisy chain(51520 tsv), to understand
its electrical properties.

FE-TC4-P1 TSV and BI test • We measured 19 chips, which show good tsv daisy chain interconnection. Yielding ~84%.
• Single tsv resistance is . Agree with reference value <600mohm(Tezzaron report)
• Single tsv capacitance(metal-insulator-semiconductor) in inversion region is around 5.5fF. The calculated value is 3.6fF. In addition, we cannot measure accumulation region capacitance because ESD diodes limit bias voltage.
• The BI test results reveal some problems. Only 1 chip shows good interconnection. Perhaps the alignment issues and chip surface irregularities lead to these problems.

FEC4-P3 test results under radiation• Third 2D chip in Chartered 130nm ( submitted in
2011) :• Smaller pixel size (50µm x 166µm => 50µm x 125µm)• Design of new sub-parts : analogue buffer, analogue multiplexor
….• Radiation Hardness improvement (optimized latches, substrate
separation, guard-ring…)
• Tests under radiation at CERN/PS :• The test was made up to 650 MRads.• The chip resists well :
• up to 300 MRads for the Analog Part • and up to the end of the campaign for the Digital Part.
• The chip is not broken after irradiation, and works.• The Analog Part shows a good annealing recovering after 6
months (after irradiation: 78% of dead pixels, after 6 months of annealing: 18% of dead pixels).
• The new small analog pixel is now completely ready for a next 3D integration.

Conclusions and prospects• The Global Foundry 130nm is a good candidat with good
electrical performance under protons radiation• Despite the (very) poor yield the Tezzaron-Chartered
technology is finally working and gives very good results.
• Substantial efforts have to be made by vendors to improve yield and delivery schedule.
• Next step : Hybridization of a sensor in such a 3D wafer• If the sensor hybridization on a 10µm thinned tier works, this
3D process will be a success.
• In parallel, we work with HV-CMOS technology which can allow to perform 3D stacking without the sensor hybridization step (reduce of cost, time and complexity).
• We are working firstly with the Chartered HV technology (BCDlite) in view of a Chartered-Tezzaron 3D processing (2D MPW run in May 2012). But if this technology would appear to be not suitable, we could try to use Tezzaron process with another HV technology (as allowed in 3D process).
