WP4: Micro-electronics and interconnections

Objectives

  • Deliver CLICPIX and ATLAS/CMS 65 nm CMOS readout chips for planar, 3D and HV-CMOS pixel sensors 
  • Share expertise on TSMC 65 nm CMOS and coordinate developments with CERN RD53 R&D program on microelectronics for pixels
  • Select best SiGe 130/180 nm process for high speed/high dynamic range ASIC design to upgrade current SiGe 350 nm AMS process
  • Deliver SPIROC3 SiPM readout chip for calorimeter readout and RPC high timing readout chip 
  • Produce through-silicon vias (TSV) on 65 nm CMOS wafers and connect 65 nm chips with and without TSVs to pixel sensors

Tasks 

  • Task 4.1 Scientific coordination
  • Task 4.2 65 nm microelectronics 
  • Task 4.3 SiGe 130/180 nm microelectronics
  • Task 4.4 Interconnections
