Radiation Tolerance of CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors with Self-Biased Pixels

Instrumentation and Detectors 2010-11-30 v1 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) are proposed as a technology for various vertex detectors in nuclear and particle physics. We discuss the mechanisms of ionizing radiation damage on MAPS hosting the the dead time free, so-called self bias pixel. Moreover, we discuss radiation hardened sensor designs which allow operating detectors after exposing them to irradiation doses above 1 Mrad
