CMS Technical Design Report for the Pixel Detector Upgrade

The original design goal of the LHC was to operate at 1 × 10 34 cm -2 s -1 with 25 ns bunch spacing, where approximately 25 simultaneous inelastic collisions per crossing ("pile-up") occur. With the upgrade of the accelerators, the luminosity and pile-up will more than double. The current pixel detector is crucial to charged particle tracking, but was not designed to perform effectively in such collision conditions and the physics program of CMS would suffer as a result. We propose to replace the current pixel tracker with a new high efficiency and low mass detector with four barrel layers and three forward/backward disks to provide four-hit pixel coverage out to pseudorapidities of ±2.5. This new detector will meet or exceed the original design specifications in these high luminosity environments. In this report, we provide details on the design, construction and installation of the upgraded pixel detector as well as estimates of its expected performance. Cover Design S.

“…This was confirmed for MOS transistors when they became available with these thin oxides more than a decade later [8]. Now it is common knowledge that transistors of commercial deep submicron CMOS technologies withstand very significant total For instance, in [9] the PMOS of minimum size shows significant current drive degradation which cannot be attributed to its radiation induced threshold voltage shift alone.…”

a b s t r a c tMonolithic pixel detectors integrating sensor matrix and readout in one piece of silicon are only now starting to make their way into high energy physics. Two major requirements are radiation tolerance and low power consumption. For the most extreme radiation levels, signal charge has to be collected by drift from a depletion layer onto a designated collection electrode without losing the signal charge elsewhere in the in-pixel circuit. Low power consumption requires an optimization of Q/C, the ratio of the collected signal charge over the input capacitance [1]. Some solutions to combine sufficient Q/C and collection by drift require exotic fabrication steps. More conventional solutions up to now require a simple in-pixel readout circuit. Both high voltage CMOS technologies and Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) technologies with high resistivity epitaxial layers offer high voltage diodes. The choice between the two is not fundamental but more a question of how much depletion can be reached and also of availability and cost. This paper tries to give an overview.

“…These very promising results are, however, not enough to validate these two blocks to be used in the LPGBT, and a characterization of the radiation effects is required. These effects include high Single Event Upset (SEU) rates [4], [5], that generate temporary malfunctioning, and the Total Ionizing Dose (TID) effects, which can cause permanent faults [3], [6]. The maximum tolerable error rate is only 1 wrong word transmitted per 24 hours of operation, i.e.…”

The availability of low-power, radiation-resistant components has an enormous importance in the development of the electronic systems for modern detectors in a High Energy Physics (HEP) experiment. This paper describes the characterization in terms of radiation effects of two serializer blocks within a high speed transmitter, prior developed with the objective of achieving a power consumption of less than 30 mW at the operating speed of 4.8 Gbit/sec. Within the first serializer, called “simple TMR”, a traditional solution, based on the hardware redundancy, has been implemented. In the second case a new architecture, less power consuming, called “code protected”, has been proposed. The tests previously performed shown an average consumption of ~30 mW and ~19 mW, respectively, for a bit rate of 4.8 Gbit/sec but do not fully clarify if the blocks are suitable for working under extremely high radiation levels. Hence, a deep radiation hardness investigation has been performed and presented here to confirm the availability of these blocks in a HEP electronic system. SEU sensitivities are measured and bit error rates better than 2 E-15 are obtained, confirming that the “code protected” solution assures reliable communications in HEP experiments environment with a smaller power consumption. These blocks have also been designed and tested to cope with a total ionizing dose of 100 Mrad over 10 years of operation
