The project focuses on the design and pre-prototyping of silicon pad sensors, with an emphasis on defining contacts to diodes and testing structures. The technical finalization of the design is progressing, including discussions of design rules with vendors. The active sensor area is approximately 0.3 cm² with a wafer diameter of 100 mm and a thickness of 250 μm. Electric characterization shows promising results, with leakage current below 20 nA/cm² and operational voltage expectations indicating safety well within measured breakdown voltages.

To be done: • Define contacts to diodes; • Define test structures – number of them are ready in sketches, but should be discussed; • Technical finalization of design (corner rounding, discus design rules with vendors, etc.) • Etc. Václav Vrba, Institute of Physics, AS CR

Conclusions • The design of the silicon pad array is on the way; some adjustments and more detailed discussions are needed; • The design could be ready for submission in approximately one month; the sensors delivery should be discussed with vendors; • “Pre-prototype” probes give encouraging results: • - leakage current is well below 20 nA/cm2 • - for 500 um thick wafers one can expect Vdepl around 280V, and the operational voltage Vop can be around 320 V; this is well below the measured break down voltages; • “Pre-prototype” probes already meet technical specifications.
