Overview
•Pixel readout of gaseous detectors using Micromegas-like structures
•Adding functionalities to pixel readout chips by wafer post-processing
–Gas gain grids: Ingrid–Discharge protection: Siprot
•Results with some Timepix chambers, 65k channel μTPC– 55Fe source–Cosmic rays data– 90Sr source in TOT and Time modes

Processing Ingrids
(MESA+, Univ. Twente)
• Substrate can be:– Si wafer with a patterned anode– Pixel readout chip
• Photo-resist coating & exposure– Define the amplification gap (tens of μm)– Define the supports (pillars/walls)
• Metal film deposition & patterning– Define the grid geometry
• Dissolve the un-exposed resist– + some cleaning

New Ingrid developments and results
• Process improvement: grids much flatter
– Extremely good energy resolution:13.6 % FWHM with 55Fe in P10
– Removal of Kβ 6.5 keV line:11.7 % @ 5.9 keV in P10
– With F=0.17 and Ne = 229 gain fluctuation ~ 0.5
• New wafer masks:hole pitches down to 20 μmwith various diameters and gaps
– Investigate Micromegas geometry– Test of the ion backflow theory
feasible
• Until now: 1 μm thin Albut can now be increased to 5 μm by electrolysisExpect less damaged from sparks

Status of Timepix usage at NIKHEF
• 1st Timepix (+ 3 μm Siprot):“under HV” Dec-Jan 2006 for 40 days He/isoButane 80/20 then died after ONE day with Ar/isoButane
• “Old” detector: (Timepix C08-W0014 + 3 μm Siprot): was “under HV” with He/isoButane 80/20 since 24 April (for 3 months!)
• Detector Next-1: (Timepix E09-W0014 + 20 μm Siprot + Ingrid): under HV for > one month with He/isoButane
• Detector Next-2: (Timepix + 20 μm Siprot + Ingrid):just started on Ar/isoButane
• Detector Next-3: (Medipix2.1 + 30 μm Siprot + Ingrid):gain 200k reached

• Chip tiling: large(r) detector surfaces (2x2, 2x4 chips)• Through Si connectivity: avoiding bonding wires• Fast readout technology: ~5 Gb/s
RELAXD project (Dutch/Belgian)NIKHEF, Panalytical, IMEC, Canberra:
Hope for “through Si vias” (with Medipix chips) later this year!
