Silicon Detector Modules for ATLAS Experiment

Coordinating university or institute

Uppsala University, www.uu.se

Facility

CERN

Project description

Production of ~1000 silicon semiconductor detector modules/hybrids in Sweden. A module consist of silicon strip sensors readout electronics and data transmission. The sensor module is assembled with high precision (<10 micrometer) using UV and chemical curing glue. Electronics is wire bonded to sensor and readout with 25 micrometer wires. Each module has in total about 4000 wire connections.
The Swedish production is an in-kind contribution to an international collaboration with several partners. The Scandinavian contribution is done together with groups from Denmark and Norway. The assembly and testing is done in clean room facilities. The work is done in collaboration between industry and academia. Expertise and production tooling is produced by university. Assembly of modules are done in industry. Wire bonding both in industry and university. Testing done at university
