ASIC carrier module assembly

• TODO
• This needs a transport box that protects the ASIC and the sensor after it has been assembled!
• Contains the following components
  • Carrier board
  • 6x ePixUHR ASICs

Readout module assembly

• TODO
• Contains the following components
  • Readout board
  • Thermal interface pad
  • Cooling block
  • LEAP transceiver
  • LEAP fiber pigtail
  • Fiber holder
• These assemblies will be tested individually before mounting into the 1M assembly and also after mounting
  • Write a test procedure for this

1M assembly

• The final product of this assembly is a complete and tested 1M block
• This involves attaching 6x of the following to the 1M cooling block
  • ASIC carrier modules with ASICs and sensor (the most sensitive component)
  • Readout modules with cooling blocks attached

4M assembly

• TODO

Toy model for inserting 1M module into the 4M crate

Sensor design

Due to asymmetry in the ASICs, the edges of the top row do not align exactly with the edges of the bottom row. The top row is shifted horizontally by 1.35 µm relative to the bottom row. The ASICs are spaced 19485 µm apart horizontally.

Sensors for ASIC and systems characterization

There is a strong need to have sensors capable of detecting visible light during the characterization phase of the detector. This capability enables the use on lab, low power, LASER that can reproduce the fast timing and large charges that will be experienced during beam time use. X-ray sensor do have metallization in the entrance window to block visible light therefore existing sensor are not suitable

Solutions proposed 

• Design mast on the 1x1 sensor in the production run
  • It will take more than a year to have them and adds a step in the process, which adds risks to the production run
  • Etch the metal away. Can be done in individual and prototype sensor (5x5mm)
    • Only sensor for characterization would go through this step
    • Can be done in existing sensor (have them available within a month)
    • In the past we had issues removing the metal and CK's team will investigate this since it is believe this can be consistently done
  • Decision is to make production runs with full metallization and process the sensors in house for characterization

Electronics design for 3x2 sensor module

The electronics for the 3x2 sensor module is split into two parts; the ASIC carrier (left in the block diagram below) and the readout board (right in the block diagram). They are electrically connected together through a right-angle connector from the Samtec SEARAY connector family, which provides a total of 500 pins for signals and power. The ASIC carrier contains the 3x2 ASICs together with the 3x2 sensor and minimal amount of other components in order to reduce the size and therefore increase the sensitive area of the detector focal plane (the are which is covered by a sensitive sensor). All the active circuitry for interfacing and powering the ASICs is located on the readout board as well as the components for optical communication with the external back-end system.

More details about the electronics design for the 3x2 module can be found on a dedicated page: 3x2 Readout Overview

NOTE: If some of the images above are indicated as missing, please ensure that you are logged into Confluence and have access to the Board tracking pages where the images are stored.

Power

Power supplies

TODO, see TIDIDECS-109 - Getting issue details... STATUS

ePixUHR35kfps 1M Power Breakout Board

• See TIDIDECS-81 - Getting issue details... STATUS
• The "Top" side of the board is facing the rear of the camera
• The "Bottom" side of the board is facing the inside of the camera and connects to the six 3x2 readout boards through the TFM connectors

Connectors and parts

The two square Harting connectors on the Power Breakout Board above is separated into one for power and one for signal. They will have different gender to avoid wrong connections. The power connector will have a "protected" female connector on the cable side where voltages may be exposed on the pins. The tables below lists the components that are needed to assembly a full connector stack for the power and signal.

Optional parts

Some optional parts that might be useful in some cases.

Tools

The pins that attach to the wires on the cable are crimped and required a specific tool for it listed below. A pin removal/extraction tool could also be useful in case a pin was inserted into the wrong slot.

ASIC

The ePixUHR 100 kHz ASIC is used in this project. The main properties are:

• 192 (H) x 168 (V) pixels
• 100 um x 100 um pixel size
• 8 serial data outputs operating at up to ~6 Gbit/s

Resources:

• Confluence page (restricted)
• Glue used to bond the ASIC+SENSOR to the carrier board
  • SP-120 silicone primer: https://nusil.avantorsciences.com/nusil/en/product/SP-120/silicone-primer
  • CV-2943 thermally conductive, controlled volatility RTV silicone: https://nusil.avantorsciences.com/nusil/en/product/CV-2943/thermally-conductive-controlled-volatility-rtv-silicone

Size and measurements

These measurements are taken from a GDS file (ePixUHR_100kHz_4Julie.gds) that was opened in KLayout.

Block diagrams of camera configurations

The block diagrams have been created with Draw.io instead of the Gliffy integration in Confluence, which has major issue as soon as there are more than 100 items in the diagram it seems. It slows down the whole confluence page and it's near impossible to edit the diagram. There are also major limitations in the tools available in Gliffy, e.g. there doesn't seem to be a way to draw an arbitrary polygon or parallelograms.
