Research Abstract |
In order to apply for a high luminosity electron-positron collider experiment we have investigated a possibility of integrating strip and/or pixelde-tectors with a readout circuits. Since the circuits are irradiated by ionizing particles and gamma rays, the characteristics of transistors are easy to be degraded. In order to overcome the nature of a radiation damage, one way proposed was to apply a rapid thermal nitridation process for a gate oxide of a CMOS FET. We actually obtained an indication of an improvement in terms of a threshold shift and/or degradation in noise, there still remained a room for a further adjustment of process conditions. An alternative way was proposed to apply for a 0.8-micron CMOS process in place of the so-far employed 1.2-micron CMOS process, which revealed a significant improvement in terms of a noise degradation coefficient for an increment of a radiation dose as well as an initial noise slope.
