Progress in Particle Tracking and Vertexing Detectors Nicolas Fourches
Progress in particle tracking and vertexing detectors Nicolas Fourches (CEA/IRFU): 22nd March 2020, University Paris-Saclay Abstract: This is part of a document, which is devoted to the developments of pixel detectors in the context of the International Linear Collider. From the early developments of the MIMOSAs to the proposed DotPix I recall some of the major progresses. The need for very precise vertex reconstruction is the reason for the Research and Development of new pixel detectors, first derived from the CMOS sensors and in further steps with new semiconductors structures. The problem of radiation effects was investigated and this is the case for the noise level with emphasis of the benefits of downscaling. Specific semiconductor processing and characterisation techniques are also described, with the perspective of a new pixel structure. TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1.

Re – 10th International Meeting on Front-End Electronics, Krakow, May 30 – June 3, 2016 1 Motivation 65 nm CMOS technology is a candidate for mixed-signal readout of high granularity silicon pixel sensors, with potential to meet the requirements of diverse applications such as particle tracking in the innermost layers of ATLAS and CMS at HL-LHC and photon imaging at very high brilliance and high rate light sources Tolerance to extremely high levels of ionizing radiation is a key requirement for both application fields, up to 1 Grad Total Ionizing Dose (TID) during chip lifetime. RD53 collaboration has carried out an extensive study of the behavior under irradiation of a 65 nm CMOS technology, with which a first generation of demonstrator chips is being designed The goal of this paper is to find out if 65 nm CMOS analog front- end circuits can still provide an adequate noise performance even at extremely high total doses. Study of radiation effects on noise can give very important hints about damage mechanisms. V.

Circuit Optimisation Using Device Layout Motifs
Circuit Optimisation using Device Layout Motifs Yang Xiao Ph.D. University of York Electronics July 2015 Abstract Circuit designers face great challenges as CMOS devices continue to scale to nano dimensions, in particular, stochastic variability caused by the physical properties of transistors. Stochas- tic variability is an undesired and uncertain component caused by fundamental phenomena associated with device structure evolution, which cannot be avoided during the manufac- turing process. In order to examine the problem of variability at atomic levels, the `Motif ' concept, defined as a set of repeating patterns of fundamental geometrical forms used as design units, is proposed to capture the presence of statistical variability and improve the device/circuit layout regularity. A set of 3D motifs with stochastic variability are investigated and performed by technology computer aided design simulations. The statistical motifs compact model is used to bridge between device technology and circuit design. The statistical variability information is transferred into motifs' compact model in order to facilitate variation-aware circuit designs. The uniform motif compact model extraction is performed by a novel two-step evolutionary algorithm. The proposed extraction method overcomes the drawbacks of conventional extraction methods of poor convergence without good initial conditions and the difficulty of simulating multi-objective optimisations. After uniform motif compact models are obtained, the statistical variability information is injected into these compact models to generate the final motif statistical variability model. The thesis also considers the influence of different choices of motif for each device on cir- cuit performance and its statistical variability characteristics. A set of basic logic gates is constructed using different motif choices. -

Dopant-segregated Schottky (DSS) source/drain MOSFETs have become popular in recent years to address this series resistance issue, since DSS source/drain regions comprise primarily of metal or metal silicide. -

Disruptive solutions are needed to advance beyond to-board connection relative to the size and pitch of on- incremental improvements. Traditionally, processors reside inside packages to enable PCB-based integration. We argue chip interconnects (∼10X and not scaling well). In addition, that packages reduce the potential memory bandwidth of a the packages significantly increase the interconnect distance processor by at least one order of magnitude, allowable thermal between the processor die and other dies. Eliminating the design power (TDP) by up to 70%, and area efficiency by package, therefore, has the potential to increase bandwidth a factor of 5 to 18. Further, silicon chips have scaled well by at least an order of magnitude(Section II). Similarly, while packages have not. We propose packageless processors - processors where packages have been removed and dies processor packages are much bigger than the processor itself directly mounted on a silicon board using a novel integra- (5 to 18 times bigger).

REPORT Moore's Law & the Value Transistor
GILDER December 2002 / Vol.VII No.12 TECHNOLOGY Moore’s Law & REPORT The Value Transistor he big foundries, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSM) and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), have curtailed capital Texpenditures and are pushing out adoption dates for 300-mm (diameter) wafer production. The biggest integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), IBM, Intel (INTC), Samsung, and Texas Instruments (TXN), continue to spend on process development and are moving to 300-mm wafers. Conventional wisdom says that as the economy recovers, IDMs will be prepared for the upturn. And foundries, with lagging semicon- ductor processes that produce slower chips at higher costs, will lose market share. In the early days, foundries lagged IDMs by at least a couple of process genera- tions. Then they caught up with the IDMs—introducing large wafers and leading- “I thought Moore’s law edge processes right along with the major IDMs. Now, foundries seem about to fall drove the industry, behind. What is going on? Moore’s law is the rate of semiconductor manufacturing improvement—the num- until Tredennick and ber of transistors in a fixed area doubles every eighteen months. Big chips are more capa- ble; fixed-size functions fit on smaller chips. The magic of Moore’s-law progress comes Shimamoto introduced from three areas. Most important is shrinking transistor size. The second contributor is me to the value increasing chip and wafer size. Third is better circuit design. Chips get faster and cheap- er with manufacturing process improvements. If you find the current chips lacking, wait transistor. Here it is, a generation or two and they’ll have what you need. -
