The Opto-board
• Optical signal  electrical signal conversion occurs here
• Contains 7 optical links, each link serving one Pixel module
• Fabricated in 2 flavors

– Layer D: for outer barrel and disks 1 and 2
80 B boards
• Fabricated with BeO for heat management
430 D boards
– initial prototypes with FR4 for fast turn around and cost saving

• 28 boards were delivered for detailed testing
– Equal number of layers B and disks
– no known circuit design error but a few SMDs detached from 3 boards in transit
• Received 80 B-layer opto-boards with layout changes to improve adhesion
– populated a board and it works fine
• Will order 430 boards for outer barrel and disks in November

Radiation Hardness Measurements
• Important to measure/certify radiation hardness of ASICs
and opto-board and its components:
– VCSEL and PIN arrays
– VDC and DORIC chips
– Encapsulant, fibers, glues, etc.
• Use CERN’s T7 beam (24 GeV Proton) for radiation
hardness studies
– “Cold box” setup: electrical testing of DORIC and VDC
 Exposed up to 62 Mrad
– Shuttle setup: testing of optical links on opto-boards
using DORIC and VDC
 Can be moved in and out of beam remotely for VCSEL annealing
 Exposed up to 32 Mrad

•
Irradiate ~5 Mrad/day (10 hours) with annealing rest of the day
Optical power decreases with dosage as expected due to VCSELs
Limited annealing recovers some lost power
Still acceptable power after 30 Mrad

Status of VDC & DORIC
 Original design for ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker (SCT)
– AMS 0.8 mm BiPolar in radiation tolerant process (4 V)
 DMILL #1-3: Summer 1999 - May 2001
– 0.8 mm CMOS rad-hard process (3.2 V)
– VDC & DORIC #3: meet specs
– severe degradation of circuit performance in April 2001 proton irradiation
 IBM #1-5: Summer 2001 - Dec 2002
– 0.25 mm CMOS rad-hard process (2.5 V)
– enclosed layout transistors and guard rings for improved radiation hardness
 IBM 5e: April 2003 engineering run
– convert 3-layer to 5-layer layout for submission
with pixel Module Control Chip (MCC) for cost saving
 this is the production run since chips meet specs
and sufficient quantity of chips were produced

VDC Performance
Before irradiation

dosage
After irradiation
 Current output is constant vs. dosage
 Duty cycle and rise/fall times
consistent before and after irradiation
– Better rise and fall times on the
opto-board due to shorter wire
bonds and traces

DORIC Performance
After irrad
Before irrad
• Threshold for no bit error unchanged
after irradiation
• Jitter consistent before and after
irradiation
• Clock duty cycle slightly out of spec
after irradiation
– Minimum 45.5% (spec 46%)
• Threshold and duty cycle improve with
shorter wire bonds and traces
