n-XYTER HybridDevelopments Christian J. Schmidt et al., GSI Darmstadt JINR, Dubna, Oct. 15th 2008
n-XYTER, current workhorse chip for prototyping • workhorse readout chip for detector prototyping • architectural example front-end for DAQ development (self triggered, data driven) • sample ASIC for technological front-end electronics hybrid developments • bonding technology, circuit board technology • thermal management, active cooling concepts • power management (integraly high currents, low voltage, high B-fields, high rad. environment) • very dense mechanical boundary conditions
"Simple" FEB for the n-XYTER Starter Kit • A simple hybrid PCB with signal fan-in, ADC and interconnect to SysCore DAQ chain • Allow development of the DAQ chain • Allow the readout of various detector prototypes Allow to explore the challenges of hybrid development The September beam time has shown the whole signal chain operative! Silicon Strip / GEM Gas Detectors --- n-XYTER --- SysCore DAQ System
n-XYTER FEB: At the limits of PCB-technology Interference point of many technologies, each imposing limiting boundary conditions: • Chip-In-Board solution avoids space eating vias • allows pitch adaptation: • 50,7 µm on chip to • PCB side 101,4 µm on two levels
n-XYTER FEB: At the limits of PCB-technology • 100 µm pitch on PCB is at the limit of PCB technology! • landing area for bonds comes out much smaller than 50 µm • high yield wire bonding technology finds limits at ~65 µm landing space • Chip-In-Board technologically impeeds use of cooling vias • Unplugged vias spoil bonding structures • Plugged vias spoil bonding surface quality • Current Solution: Macroscopic metal inlay underneath the chip realized after PCB manufacturing will give thermal link to cooling infrastructure FEB-Rev B FEB-Rev C Realize 125 µm pitch on PCB at the expense of more complicated fan-out bonding with Chip-In-Board, two layer bonding and metal in-lay cooling contact FEB-Rev D
It is all a question of yield! • Wire Bonding Technology: • Maximum bond length ~ 4 mm • Staggered fan-out complicates bonding • Bonding machine determines specs on dimensions of landing space • PCB-Technology • 50µ / 50µ shatteres yield • close contact to manufacturer • special solutions (Chip in Board) • metal inlay solution • Home made issues: • -- Cooling strategy: • Wire bonds demand cooling from below • Flip-Chip bump bonds may allow cooling from either side • -- Limitations on Orcad layout tool • -- On Chip bond-pad layout
n-XYTER FEB Prototype - GEM-TPC for PANDA Application foreign to CBM, but high density gas detector read-out, just like CBM-MUCH • Board status: in production First large scale application of n-XYTER: 92 chips on 46 boards. Beam time for the TPC at FoPi: End of 2009 • Dimensions: 265 x 103 mm • 8 layers Slide by Rafal Lalik
n-XYTER Quattro Integrated double sided Silicon Baby Sensor Readout • 4 n-XYTERs on one PCB • 100 x 100 mm2 • 8 layers • SysCore read-out • complicated mechanical milling scheme Status:In production at ILFA ! Slide by Rafal Lalik
STS specific hybrid developments • Hybrid for STS Ladder Modules • Combined challenges with • high density chip assembly needs • sensitive microcable detector interconnect • integrated cooling • integrated powering scheeme in high magnetic fields and rad. env. • Temptatively, a completly different technology comes into play: • Silicon based circuit board • flip chip assembly of XYTERs • high efficiency cooling contacts and hybrid stackability • tap bonding for micro-cables (V. Pugatch, Kiev) • separated potential domain for upper and lower side det. readout
Two development lines to be discussed: • STS module based on n-XYTER and PCB technology • primarily to show micro cable performance • 4 to 8 chip hybrid, preferably dual side readout • STS module based on n-XYTER and compact flip-chip technology, • Silicon circuit board serves as • efficient cooling contact (cooling from both sides) • pitch adapter to the micro cables • Precise project definition and distribution of workpackages still to be done, • GSI Detectorlab signed up for hybrid development (we will have a new electronics engineer starting in December) • so we should now start this discussion
