研究目的
Designing and characterizing a readout integrated circuit (UFXC32k) for hybrid pixel semiconductor detectors used in X-ray imaging, focusing on improving offset and gain matching, count rate performance, and frame rate readout.
研究成果
The UFXC32k IC demonstrates significant improvements in offset and gain matching, high count rate performance, and the possibility of high frame rate readout, making it suitable for synchrotron material science, medical applications, and other high-intensity X-ray radiation experiments.
研究不足
The test system's maximum clock frequency limitation (200 MHz) affects the frame rate measurement. The next step involves rebuilding the test system to allow operation with a double data rate clock of 400 MHz.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The UFXC32k IC was designed in a CMOS 130 nm process, featuring a matrix of 128 × 256 pixels with 75 μm pitch. Each pixel includes a charge sensitive amplifier, shaper, two discriminators, and two 14-bit ripple counters.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The chip was bump-bonded to a silicon pixel detector and characterized using X-ray radiation.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
NI PXI-6562 Digital Waveform Generator/Analyzer, LabVIEW 2013 for communication protocol and data analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Measurements included offset, gain, noise, high count rate performance, and frame rate in continuous readout mode.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data was analyzed using threshold scans, X-ray spectra measurements, and fitting to a paralyzable dead time model.
