R&D Project 3:
Integration of a flexible, silicon embedded CMOS pixel sensor assembly into a prototype ladder for micro-vertex detection


Research Objective

The integration of a flexible, silicon embedded CMOS sensor assembly into a prototype pixel ladder for microvertex detection is the reseach objective of this task. The technical tasks to achieve include the high-precision placement of the active part of the detector onto a support structure, achieving excellent heat evacuation and sufficient rigidity, and the evaluation of technologies allowing to reduce the inactive area between individual sensor chips. A alternative approach is planned to be explored as a fallback solution if the new technology will not be available in time.
