  1. BTeV Hybrid Pixels David Christian Fermilab July 10, 2006

  2. Context • BTeV was possible because of two “enabling technologies.” • A silicon pixel detector with very high segmentation and very fast, zero suppressed, readout. • A vertex trigger (using pixel hits) capable of accepting data from more than 15 million events per second, selecting events containing measurable b decays, and rejecting backgrounds.

  3. Advantages of hybrid silicon pixel detectors • Excellent spatial resolution • High stopping power of silicon: • Most ionization is contained within a few microns of a track. • A minimum ionizing particle creates 80 e/h pairs per micron of track length. • Low noise electronics: • Small sensor pixel and bump bonding means very small input capacitance. • Separate development of sensor and readout chip allows each to be optimized.

  4. Topic 1: Major milestones in module R&D

  5. Status as of February 2005 • Sensor module R&D complete • Licensed use of “moderated p-spray” n-in-n technology developed for ATLAS • Chip development near completion • Two failures must be corrected: • Readout hangs when multiple pixels are hit in ~200ps interval as BCO number is incrementing (design change is done). • Amplifier oscillates after irradiation with large leakage current. • Other readout/mechanical design well advanced (but BTeV-specific).

  6. The last 16 months • Proposal to finish development of BTeV pixels in the context of ILC detector R&D was approved in May, 2005. • Construction of a pixel telescope for the forward arm of PHENIX is a part of this. • Final readout chip (FPIX2.1) has been tested. • Both faults have been corrected. • A “general purpose” HDI has been designed and fabricated.

  7. FPIX2 at a glance • Designed to be the BTeV pixel chip. • 50m x 400m pixels (like ATLAS). • 22 columns x 128 rows. • Designed to tile chips in one line with 600m long pixels between chips; not designed to tile two lines of chip on one sensor module. • High speed, zero suppressed readout. • Can be ~30ns/hit. • All chips read out in parallel on point-to-point links. • NO TRIGGER. • Easy to use. • One bias voltage (+2.5V) • All LVDS I/O – No other ASIC’s required.
