  2. Summary • Charge sensing element : PhotoFET. • Readout in current mode • MIMOSA 13 : a highly granular and fast sensor. • Conclusion and outlook. Sébastien HEINI 10/03/2005

  3. PhotoFET : charge sensing element - 100% fill factor - N-WELL/P-epi Diode. - Liberated Charge ~80e-/µm/MIP - Collection time ~100ns • Advantages: • - Built-in charge-to-current amplification • high sensitivity • Large DC swing • High speed readout - The collected charge affects the threshold voltage of the PMOS transistor - Modulation of the transistor current signal amplification resulting in conversion of the generated charge to current Sébastien HEINI 10/03/2005

  4. Optimal operation point and result of the PhotoFET • Optimal running S/N point determined by simulation. • Isf_ bias = 1µA • - Signal = 773 pA / e - • - Noise = 49 e - • - S/N = 34 Number of pixels • - 1M events analysis. • - Blue curve : neighbour pixel hit response distribution analysis • Green curve : calibration pick due to a Fe55 X ray irradiation on the central pixel • Signal / noise depend on neighbour pixel hit ADC count Sébastien HEINI 10/03/2005

  5. Current mode readout • Advantages: • High speed readout. • Charge collected is amplified inside the pixel. • Low impedance is in the amplifier (outside of the array). • Pixel output simple : using a current memory. • Large DC swing. Sébastien HEINI 10/03/2005

  6. Objective of MIMOSA 13 • High gain sensing element. • DC current compensation. • Noise reduction of the PhotoFET structure. • AC coupling test for lower noise contribution. • - Obtain a readout time faster than 100ns. • Direct access to the PhotoFET for caracterisation. • Test of a real fast amplifier architecture. • (readout time faster than 50ns). • - Test of the chip MIMOSA 13 in fast operation mode. • Pixel array 20 x 64 (pixel pitch 20µm). • Compatibility with datas acquisition of existing system.
