  1. Digital FE-TC4-DC tier for 3D ATLAS pixel at sLHC March 18th 2010, Marlon Barbero University of Bonn Bonn University: D. Arutinov, M. Barbero, T. Hemperek, M. Karagounis, H. Krüger, A. Kruth, N. Wermes. CPPM Marseille (France): B. Chantepie, J.-C. Clément, R. Fei, D. Fougeron, S. Godiot, P. Pangaud, A. Rozanov. LBNL Berkeley (USA): J. Fleury, M. Garcia-Sciveres, A. Mekkaoui

  2. 3D Front-End for Super-LHC • sLHC tentative layout (>2018): 4 to 5 pixel layers + strip, small radii / large(r) radii(note: Discussion on boundary pixel / short strips, …). Nigel Hessey ATLAS present Inner Detector (ID) tentative ID layout for sLHC? • - All Silicon. • Long Strips/ Short Strips / Pixels. • Pixels: • 2 or 3 fixed layers at ‘large’ radii. • 2 removable layers at ‘small’ radii. FE-I4 3D FE

  3. FE-TC4 • Collaboration Bonn (Germany), CPPM (France), LBNL (USA). MPW organized by FNAL. • Goal: a 50×125 μm2 3D chip, with split analog and digital functionalities. • Technology: • Chartered 130nm (restricted to 5 metals). • Tezzaron 3D. • Analog prototype submitted in 2D Chartered, as technology test bench. • Good performance.

  4. FE-I4 architecture & FE-TC4-DC • 1st prototype 3D digital based on approx. the same digital organization as ATLAS pixel FE-I4, but with very simplified periphery (smaller too!). • Goal of FE-TC4-DC: • Test 3D for ATLAS with “realistic” architecture. • Straightforward implementation (wrt what we were doing at the time on ATLAS FE). • Test bench for the 4-pixel digital region (one of the main innovation wrt current ATLAS pixel FE, FE-I3). • Test Chartered digital design flow. • Will start by telling more about FE-I4. • Will underline similarities & differences between the 2 FEs.

  5. higher hit rate need new FE FE-I3FE-I4 • 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). 100 Inefficiency [%] sLHC 80 IBL 60 40 FE-I3 at r=3.7 cm!

FE-I4 4-pixel digital region 4-Pixel Unit Digital Region Read & Trigger Token disc. top left disc. top right hit proc.: TS/sm/big/ToT 5 ToT memory /pixel disc. bot. left disc. bot. right L1T Read Neighbor 5 latency counter / region low traffic on DC bus local storage • Consequences: • Spatial association of digital hit to recover lower analog performance. • Lowers digital power consumption (below 10 μW / pixel at IBL occupancy). • Physics simulation  Efficient architecture. • Store hits locally in region until L1T. • Only 0.25% of pixel hits are shipped to EoC  DC bus traffic “low”. • Each pixel is tied to its neighbors -time info- (clustered nature of real hits). Small hits are close to large hits! To record small hits, use position instead of time. Handle on TW.

  8. Pixel Region Specs • Storage of up to five 4-pixel + neighbor events. • Small / big hit discrimination, 3 programmable modes (of course no discrimination available too). 2 BX association for small hits. • Analog info = 4b ToT. • Neighbor Logic (small hits in adjacent pixels -phi-): 4 bits. • Records up to 16 triggers. Programmable latency up to 255 bunch-crossings. • Stop Mode (record all hits).

  9. Digital Region FE-I4 vs Digital FE-TC4:Similarities & Differences • ~ “same” 4-Pixel Digital Region: • 4b ToT, 5 event storage. • Neighbour. • Small / Big hit discrimination. • up to 16 triggers. • configuration: 4-mask bits (& ANDed region kill). • Added in region: hit memory  alternative double-column level readout shift register (‘à la’ analog tier). • No Hamming coding, no thermal encoder address scheme. • DC token select bit. • Array 14×61 pixels  31 regions (top region has 2 inputs tied low).

  10. FE-TC4-DC Periphery • Very simplified wrt FE-I4. • 3 Shift Registers are multiplexed: • mask SR. • simple readout SR. • configuration (25b): HitDiscr(2), Latency(8), PeriphTokenSel(1), DC Enable(7), DCtokenSel(7). • Main Readout: Trigger-based ToT PISO. • No EOCHL: ‘read’, ‘trigger’, ‘trigger_req’, ‘clock_out’ provided off-FE, ‘token’ signal provided to signify hit. • ‘outData’ provides data out, no formatting. (4b TOT+1b NL)×4 + address (8b) +TriggID (4b) / PDR. • Alternative Readout: Hit info, whole array. • Uses simple readout SR output.

  11. Input processing (simple readout) mask simple read SR comparator out to latency counters & ToT memories: hit processor test hit • 2x configuration registers: kill & simple read 11

  12. Hit processing (HC3 mode)- schematic • Receives comparator output • BC resolution • Generates Leading Edge (LE) • Generates Small hit Leading Edge (sLE) • Generates Trailing Edge (TE) • Generates ToT counter reset and enable (rst_cnt, en_cnt) 12

  18. Conclusion • A 3D prototype was designed and submitted, as a test bench for this technology, in framework of ATLAS pixel upgrade for higher luminosities. • Submitted Digital ‘DC’ Tier: Based on FE-I4 architecture. • Plans: • Prototyping blocks in 2D Chartered in Summer (e.g. FEND, CREF, CLKGEN, new LVDS…). • Design a 3D equivalent to FE-I4. • Start studying constraints & specs for sLHC innermost layer digital architecture: Inefficiencies, Bandwidth, … • New clustering algo? New region structure? New digital organization? (new analog? need for ToT?)

Th./Fr. week before or Mo./Tu. week after. (I will start checking feasibility) Ludwig van Beethoven

  20. BACKUP • BACKUP

  21. FE-I4 Digital DC / Data transfer • Made of 168 4-pixel digital region. • In DC, Token based readout (dual token scheme DC / EoC with triple redundancy + majority voting). • 21 4-pixel digital region the base structure for clock / buffering: • Skew-compensated clock routing ~0.8ns skew for all pixels of array? • Buffering of read / L1T. • Data transferred to FIFO asap. All controlled by EOCHL. • Address transfer with minimal number of gates for yield enhancement (thermal encoder scheme). Data + Address is hamming coded, decoded and corrected before data compression block.

  22. Performance / Efficiency IBL: charge sharing in Z comparable to phi Regional Buffer Overflow η=0 0.6% @ IBL rate, pile-up inefficiency is the dominant source of inefficiency • Inefficiency: • Pile-up inefficiency (related to pixel x-section and return to baseline behavior of analog pixel)  ~ 0.5%. • Regional buffer overflow  ~0.05%. • Inefficiency under control for IBL occupancy. Mean ToT = 4

  26. Future FE-I4-Based Module (& Consequences for FE-I4) Flex • 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. 4 4 Sensor 3 1 2 FE-Chip 3 1 2 5 1) Big chip (periphery on one side of module). 2) Reduce size of periphery (2.8 mm2 mm). 3) Thin down FE chips (190 μm90 μm). 4) Thin down the sensor (250 μm 200 μm)? 5) Less cables (powering scheme)? challenging: power (routing, start-up), clk. distrib., simulation / management, yield
