HV/HR CMOS for Phase-II Upgrade
24/04/2017 J. LIU
Explore industry standard CMOS processes as sensors: •Exists in many processes, in particular HV/HR CMOS technologies, such as AMS 0.18 µm HV CMOS, GF 0.13 µm BCDlite and LF 150 nm technology, etc… •Basic requirement is Deep N Well(DNW) high substrate bias voltagedriftrad-hard •Triple-well technology shielded electronics with HV.
DNW: Light doping
VW Depletion width:

Main advantages: •Commercial CMOS technology lower price per unit area. •Can be thinned to tens of µm material budget reduced. •Pixel size can be reduced improved single point resolution. •1st amplifier in-sensor capacitively coupled to a specific digital part by gluing (compatible with ATLAS FE-I4, an readout IC for the ATLAS IBL).
New large demonstrator LF CPIX was submitted on 3.2016: – Pixel size 250 µm × 50 µm (FE-I4 like). – Consists of three pixel flavors: passive, digital and
analog pixel. Some improvements have been brought to them with respect to the characterizations of the LF CCPD prototypes.
– New guard-ring strategy in LF CPIX Ver2 to increase the breakdown voltage and reduce the inactive region.

The DNW-pixel dominates the breakdown for both before and after irradiation. After irradiation, the BV increases from 90 V to 105 V by simulation.

• Breakdown occurs V1 = 130 V, V2 = 215 V. • Breakdown voltage of V2 is higher than V1, agree with the TCAD simulations! • The highest BV achieved within the ATLAS HV CMOS collaboration so far! full depleted CMOS sensor enhanced radiation hardness. • Simulation results will be presented in iWoRiD-2017 on July.
