A compact front-end circuit for a monolithic sensor in a 65-nm CMOS imaging technology

This article presents the design of a front-end circuit for monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPSs). The circuit operates with a sensor featuring a small, low-capacitance (< 2 fF) collection electrode and is integrated into the DPTS chip, a proof-of-principle prototype of 1.5\times1.5 mm includin...

Description
Summary:This article presents the design of a front-end circuit for monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPSs). The circuit operates with a sensor featuring a small, low-capacitance (< 2 fF) collection electrode and is integrated into the DPTS chip, a proof-of-principle prototype of 1.5\times1.5 mm including a matrix of 32\times32 pixels with a pitch of 15 \mu \textm . The chip is implemented in the 65-nm imaging technology from the Tower Partners Semiconductor Company foundry and was developed in the framework of the EP-Research and Development Program at CERN to explore this technology for particle detection. The front-end circuit has an area of 42 \mu \textm^2 and can operate with power consumption as low as 12 nW. Measurements on the prototype relevant to the front end will be shown to support its design.
