MuPix10: First Results from the Final Design

Instrumentation and Detectors 2020-12-14 v2

Abstract

Many years of research and development of High Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HVMAPS) have culminated in the final design for the Mu3e pixel sensor. MuPix10 is a fully monolithic sensor with an active pixel matrix size of 20×20mm220\times20\,\mathrm{mm}^2 produced in the 180nm180\,\mathrm{nm} HV-CMOS process at TSI Semiconductors. The pixel size is 80×80μm280\times80\,\mathrm{\mu m}^2. Hits are read out using a column-drain architecture and sent over up to four serial links with up to 1.6Gbit/s1.6\,\left.\mathrm{Gbit}\middle/\mathrm{s}\right. each. By means of DC/DC converters and exclusive usage of on-chip biasing, MuPix10 is fully operable with a minimal set of electrical connections. This is an integral requirement by the Mu3e experiment since it enables the construction of ultra-thin pixel modules with 0.10.1\,% of a radiation length per layer. First results from lab characterisation and testbeam campaigns are presented.
