Radiation Hardness Studies of the Front-end ASICs for the Optical Links of the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies have been performed on the effects of radiation on ASICs incorporating bipolar npn transistors in the AMS 0.8 μm BiCMOS process. Radiation effects are reviewed and the approach used to achieve radiation tolerant ASICs is described. The radiation tests required to validate the ASICs for use in the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are discussed. The results demonstrate that they are sufficiently radiation tolerant for use in the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker. PACS: 42.88, 04.40N, 85.40, 85.60.

متن کاملRadiation-hard/high-speed data transmission using optical links
The silicon trackers of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva) use optical links for data transmission. An upgrade of the trackers is planned for the Super LHC (SLHC), an upgraded LHC with ten times higher luminosity. We investigate the radiation-hardness of various components for possible application in the data transmission upgrade. We study the radiation-har...
