  1. Camera CCD in sviluppo all’XUVLab per un esperimento su razzo, precursore dell’esperimento UVC del Solar Orbiter • Compact(72mm x 72mm x 50mm) • Lightweight • Fully vacuum compatible • 4096 x 4096 maximum CCD format • Three-stage Peltier cooler • Two available thermal links between the CCD and the TEC (ΔT=-85°C/-60°C) • Very low noise preamplifier stage (1.8 nV/Hz r.m.s.)

  2. Forme d’onda del CCD (fasi orizzontali in alto e verticali in basso) come appaiono ad uno strumento chiamato “analizzatore di stati logici”

  3. Photomultipliers CCD Micro-Channel Plates Photodiodes (a-Si, treated Si, Al) Problemi dei rivelatori UV • high voltage, l > 110 nm, • low fluxes, dark current • low UV sensitivity, unstable, • not radiation hard, highly visible sensitive • high voltage, hygroscopic photocathodes, unstable gain, operated in UHV • low UV sensitivity, unstable, • not radiation hard, highly visible sensitive

  4. radiation hardness visible blindness Requests very low noise chemical stability high sensitivity to XUV photons Ideal UV detector for space

  5. Specifiche per i rivelatori del Solar Orbiter Common specification requirements for the imaging and spectroscopic instruments for remote sensing are • Solar blindness < 10-7 • Operating temperature ± 50°C • Frame rate  1000 s -1 • Frame format  2K  2K • Pixel size < 20 mm • Radiation hardness  50 Krad • Weight 1 kg Photon fluxes (counts/s/px) Imaging  103 Spectroscopy 102-103 3-D spectroscopy  105

  6. Rivelatori UV disponibili Charge integration None! CCD is not rad-hard Photon Counting • MCP + XDL • MCP + APS • MCP + CID Advantages • Photon counting • Solar blindness • Radiation hardness • Spatialised • Operating @ Tamb Disadvantages • Efficiency < 30% • High voltage biases • Weight • Spatial resolution (centroid required) • External electronics (to be shielded!)

  7. Alternativa: nuovi materiali fotosensibili Diamond & nitridesare appealing materials for the EUV photon detection. Their main properties are hereafter sumarized : • Eg = 5.5 eV  dark current < 1 pA  visible rejection (ratio 10-7)  high EUV sensitivity • Highly radiation hard • Chemical inertness • Mechanically robust (high Young modulus) • High electric charge mobility = fast response time • Low dielectric constant = low capacitance

  13. Our proposal: flip-chip CMOS imager • Select the most appropriate sensitive material • Exploit the advantages offered by the CMOS technology to fabricate system-on-a-chip detectors • Join the best material and on-chip CMOS electronics by means of the consolidated flip-chip technology (applied to IR photon and particle detection) The idea

  16. Advantages of flip-chip technology EUV sensitive layers bump-bonded on CMOS imagers could have many appealing features, such as: • High responsivity • Visible rejection • Available technologies • Frame format and pixel size in the spec • On-chip read-out electronics • Radiation hardness • Compact detector (reduced weight) • Low power consumption • High frame rate • Windowing
