1. Valencia Report • 5 Pre-qualification (2 mechanical + 3 electrical) • All inside mechanical specification in XY after assembled. However, Pre3-Pre5 bad planarity (> 115 mm). • Thermal cycling now understand (Tmax, module holding). Still some 4-8 mm variation in some parameters ( mainly in the hole). • IV all OK (before and after thermal cycling). • Bonding height and envelope measure done. • 2-4 unbonded channels per module. Have to be improved • Electrical performance: GND has been improved, noise well undercontrol, but still s-curve distortions observed (also in the Liverpool set-up). The VLN set-up is now working with 3 modules. • Valencia will start production with middle modules, then the qualification has to be done with middles. Carmen García RAL Cluster Meeting 15/7/2003

2. Correlation spine-module bowing Pre-4 ~125 mm ~75 mm • Same effect observed in a dummy module. • More studies will be donewith new spines ~150 mm ~160 mm Carmen García RAL Cluster Meeting 15/7/2003

3. Metrology: Liverpool-VLA crosscheck Pre-2 Valencia Liverpool Z reference plane = 227 mm Carmen García RAL Cluster Meeting 15/7/2003

4. Metrology: Liverpool-VLA crosscheck Pre-5 Liverpool Valencia Z reference plane = 227 mm Carmen García RAL Cluster Meeting 15/7/2003

5. Metrology: Liverpool-VLA crosscheck • Both modules show a difference on midx (Per2 & Pre5). • The fiducial on one detector corner missing, that could explain the difference on a3(Pre2). • The difference on mhx (Pre2) not understand. • Very good agreement with: • Geneva module • MPI (old middle module) Carmen García RAL Cluster Meeting 15/7/2003

7. Electrical performance • The 3modules built are within specs, as far as performance is concerned • Gain ~50 mV/fC • Noise ≤ 1500 e- ENC @ T~10o C • Noise occupancy « 5x10-4 @ 1fC • GND and set-up tuning to measure the 3 modules simultaneously. • Howeverall showdistortionsin the noise occupancy s-curves at t ≤ 0.3 fC. • Not strong dependence on the GND configuration or noise level. • One module (Pre5) measured in Liverpool, same effect observed (may be reduce). • The effect is reduced when running hot.

8. Measurements @ 10ºC Pre3: Old connectors Pre4: Scratch fan-in and detector Not variation in the effect after the scratch Pre5: Measured atLiverpool Carmen García RAL Cluster Meeting 15/7/2003

9. Measurements @ 30ºC • S-curve distortion less evident • Structure around the cooling block less pronounce Carmen García RAL Cluster Meeting 15/7/2003

10. Preparation for Midwdle modules production • XY metrology under control. • Z survey: • Bonding program under test Set of Jigs 1 Set of Jigs 2 • Transfer back has been reworked • Transfers have been recalibrated Carmen García RAL Cluster Meeting 15/7/2003
