1.0 Overview
Following the process of qualification of a detector design from a particular
manufacturer, it remains the responsibility of that manufacturer to ensure
no changes in processing occur during production that may modify
-
any parameters relevant to ATLAS specifications
-
any pre- and post-irradiation electrical behaviour
from that observed during the qualification program. As consistency of
processing is ensured by the manufacturer, the role of the ATLAS institutes
during production testing is mainly that of a visual inspection and of
an electrical IV measurement on every detector as a check on the basic
quality. However, on a subset of detectors (expected to be 10-20% initially,
but reducing to ~5% with experience during production), a thorough evaluation
of detector (and test-structure where possible) characteristics will be
performed as a check on processing consistency and as a verification of
the manufacturers tests.
2.0 Actions by the manufacturer
2.1 Measurement Tests
The manufacturer is expected to perform sufficient checks to ensure consistency
of processing and to maintain all electrical parameters within the ATLAS
specifications. In addition, the manufacturer is expected to perform the
following test measurements on every detector, and to supply the measurement
results to ATLAS:
-
IV up to 350V
-
Strip oxide shorts with 100V across the strip oxide
-
Strip metal breaks
-
Strip metal shorts to neighbours
Detectors will only be supplied to ATLAS institutes if the results of all
tests by the manufacturer are within ATLAS specifications.
2.2 Special requests to the manufacturer
-
A unique identification number (1 to 99999) for each detector is to be
marked on the detector identification pads. This will require in most cases
a trivial modification to the strip test prober software.
-
If possible the manufacturer should use Row C[1](barrel detectors) and
Row B[1] (wedge detectors) of the strip pads and bias contacts for probing
tests, as these pads are not used during any stage of the module construction.
However if this is too inconvenient due to standard procedures then the
standard probing pattern is acceptable.
-
Immediately after the check for strip oxide shorts with 100V across the
strip oxide, we request that the strip metal is returned to ground potential
in order to remove residual charge.
-
If test-structures are being delivered as well as the baby detector, the
latter should be supplied undiced on the test-structure quadrant with the
manufacturer serial number clearly marked on the surface on an used part
of the quadrant. If only the baby detector is supplied, we request that
the packaging of the baby detector is clearly marked with the associated
detector identification number.
2.3 Data supplied to the ATLAS Institutes
The following data should be provided by the manufacturer:
-
The ATLAS serial number of the detector / baby detector
-
The manufacturer serial number of the wafer
-
Detector thickness
-
Substrate origin
-
Substrate orientation
-
Substrate approximate resistivity (upper and lower limit)
-
Leakage current at 150V bias
-
Leakage current at 350V bias
-
List of IV raw data to 350V
-
Temperature of IV measurement
-
List of oxide pinholes with at least 100V across the oxide
-
List of strip metal discontinuities
-
List of strip metal shorts to neighbours
-
Depletion volts (usually measured by the manufacturer using a diode)
-
Polysilicon bias resistance range (upper and lower limit)
The manufacturer is requested to upload the above data into the ATLAS database,
or if necessary to supply the above data in the form of a text file (on
PC formatted disk) to a pre-agreed format[2].
3.0 Actions by ATLAS Institutes
On delivery of a detector, the arrival of the shipment must be registered
in the ATLAS database. Tests carried out by the ATLAS institutes and the
acceptance criteria are listed below. Tests should be carried out in a
temperature (21 +/- 2oC) and humidity (50+/-10%) controlled
environment. Note that all probing of detector probe pads (strip pads and
bias rail) should whenever possible use Row C[1] and Row B[1] for
barrel and wedge detectors respectively, as this is not used in any stage
of the module construction.
3.1 Tests on every detector
3.1.1 Visual inspection.
Aim
To ensure the detector is free from physical defects and scratches.
Procedure
Place the detector on a probestation chuck and scan it visually using a
microscope. See Section 3.4.2.
Acceptance
The detector is free from significant scratches and blemishes. The cut
edge is straight and clean. No chips or cracks should extend inwards by
more than 50um on either side of the detector.
3.1.2 IV Curve
Aim
To perform a basic check of detector quality, to cross-check with manufacturer
data and to ensure there has been no transit damage.
Procedure
This test requires a voltage source/picoammeter (SMU). The detector backplane
is placed on the chuck of a probestation and the IV characteristic between
the bias rail and the backplane measured using the SMU. The detector bias
may be applied via a front edge contact instead of via the detector backplane
if appropriate. The current is measured every 10V step up to 500V, with
a 10 second delay between steps. A current limit of 100uA is imposed throughout
the measurement. The temperature of the probestation environment should
be recorded.
Acceptance
The detector displays a characteristic at 20oC which is below
6uA at 150V and below 20uA at 350V, and agrees with the manufacturer's
data within the agreed tolerance. The agreement tolerance is 1uA at both
150V and 350V for Hamamatsu detectors, and 2uA at 150V and 4uA at 350V
for CiS detectors.
3.2 Tests on a detector subset
These tests are a verification of the measurements performed by the manufacturer.
If any of these tests fail, this is an indication of either a variation
in processing and/or a failure in the testing procedures of the manufacturer.
Further samples from the batch should then be tested and contact made immediately
with the manufacturer.
3.2.1 Detector depletion voltage
Aim
To determine the depletion voltage and verify the manufacturer data.
Procedure
This measurement requires a CV meter equipped (if necessary) with an external
bias adapter and a voltage source. Place the detector backplane on the
chuck of a probestation and contact the bias rail with a probeneedle. Connect
the probeneedle to the AC output of the CV meter bias adapter, and the
backplane to the voltage output of the CV meter bias adapter. Alternatively
the capacitance can be measured between the bias rail and the front edge
contact if appropriate. Record the capacitance in 10V steps up to 350V,
with a 10 second delay between steps. Use 1 kHz with CR in SERIES. Plot
the data as 1/C**2 (1/nF**2) vs bias (volts), and extract the depletion
voltage.
Acceptance
Depletion < 150V
3.2.2 Full Strip Test
Aim
To measure the polysilicon bias resistance and coupling capacitance for
every strip, and to check for pinholes, strip metal shorts and opens, and
electrical contact between the polysilicon resistor and strip implant.
Procedure
This test requires all 768 strips to be probed while the detector is partially
depleted via contacts to the bias rail and backplane. The test requires
a voltage source to deplete the detector, a voltmeter/picoammeter (SMU)
to check for pinholes, a CV meter for a CR calculation, and a switching
matrix. Either mount the detector into a frame and bond the bias rail and
backplane to soldable contacts, or, if a probeneedle manipulator can be
fixed to the moving chuck, place the detector directly on to the chuck
and contact the detector bias rail with the chuck-mounted probeneedle.
If the option of mounting the detector into a frame is used, attach the
frame to the probestation chuck using a jig which permits adjustment of
the planarity of the detector so that it is flat with respect to the platen
of the probestation.
Switch off the light and apply +20V to the detector backplane with the
bias rail at ground potential in order to partially deplete the detector.
Under computer control, probe all 768 strip pads along Row C (barrels)
or Row B (wedges) according to the following instructions.
-
Switch the high output of the SMU (sourcing 0V) to the probeneedle via
a ~10Mohm series resistor, and switch the low output of the SMU to the
detector bias rail.
-
Step to strip n and raise the chuck
-
Increase the SMU source to +10V, wait 1 second and measure the current
to determine electrical continuity across the oxide. If the current exceeds
50nA (which defines the existence of a pinhole at low volts) skip steps
4 and 5 and go to step 6.
-
If the measured current is less than 50nA, increase the SMU source to +100V
(no ramp), wait 1 second and recheck the current.
-
Decrease the SMU source to 0V (no ramp)
-
Switch the probeneedle to ground (ie short the needle to the detector backplane)
and wait for 500ms
-
Switch the probeneedle to the AC source output of the CV meter, and the
bias rail to the voltage source output of the CV meter, with the CV meter
sourcing 0V.
-
Wait 1 second and measure C and R (at 100Hz, with CR modelled in SERIES)
-
Lower the chuck
-
Repeat the measurement cycle from point 1 above for strip n+1.
The test (as demonstrated on a SUMMIT 10K probestation) takes about 1 hour
20 minutes. The measured values of R and C yield the polysilicon resistor
value and coupling capacitance respectively. Deviations imply a strip defect
as listed above. Note the test may be performed at 1kHz if measurements
at 100Hz are not possible or are unstable; at 1kHz the coupling capacitance
is underestimated by 10-20%.
Acceptance
1. We require <2% defective strips, where a defective strip is defined
by any of the following:
-
the measured current exceeds 50nA when either +10V or +100V is applied
between the strip metal and bias rail with a 10Mohm series resistance.
The defect is defined as a PINHOLE if observed at +10V, and an OXIDE-PUNCHTHROUGH
if observed at +100V.
-
the measured capacitance indicates a strip metal short to a neighbour or
a discontinuity in the strip metal, with the defects defined as a SHORT
or OPEN respectively.
-
a significant deviation is seen in the capacitance and/or resistance distributions,
indicating either a break in the strip implant or a break in the biassing
resistance (defined as either an IMPLANT-BREAK or RESISTOR-BREAK respectively).
The
user should confirm the exact nature of the defect visually before declaring
the type of defect in the database upload file.
2. We require that the total number of PINHOLES, OXIDE-PUNCHTHROUGHS,
SHORTS and OPENS differently identified by the institute and manufacturer
is less than 3.
3.2.3 Leakage Current Stability
Aim
To check that any variation in leakage current over a 24 hour period is
within specifications.
Procedure
This test requires a voltage source / picoammeter (SMU), a meter for temperature
monitoring, an environment chamber, and, if available, a switching matrix.
Detector is assembled into a support frame and the backplane and bias rail
are bonded to soldable contacts. The backplane and bias rail of the detector
are connected to the high and grounded-low outputs of the SMU respectively.
The assembly is installed in an environment chamber containing dry air
(nitrogen) maintained at 20oC. The bias is ramped to 150V, and
after 60 seconds settling time the current is monitored every 15 minutes
over a 24 hour period. Several detectors may be measured in parallel by
use of a switching matrix.
Acceptance
Maximum increase in leakage current during 24 hours is less than 2uA.
3.3 Diagnostic Tests
This section lists the recommended procedures for a more detailed evaluation
of detector electrical parameters should acceptance tests indicate that
some variation in processing has occurred. In addition, the interstrip
capacitance and
strip metal resistance should be routinely checked on a small sample
(~1%) of detectors.After any diagnostic tests on the detector, the IV measurement
listed in Section 3.2.1 should be repeated.
3.3.1 Interstrip Capacitance
Aim
To ensure the interstrip capacitance is within specifications.
Procedure
This test requires a CV meter and a voltage source. Place the detector
on the chuck of a probestation, and contact the bias rail by probe needle.
The backplane and the bias rail should be connected to the high and grounded-low
sides (respectively) of the voltage source. Contact three adjacent metal
strips (pad row C for barrels, pad row B for wedges) with probe needles.
Contact the central strip to the AC output of the CV meter, and the the
neighbours to the voltage output (with the CV meter soucing 0V). Measure
the capacitance between the central strip and its neighbours on both sides
as a function of detector bias up to 150V. Use 100 kHz test frequency with
CR in parallel.
Acceptance
Interstrip capacitance < 1.0 pF/cm at 150V bias.
3.3.2 Metal Series Resistance
Aim
To determine that the strip metal resistance is within specifications (deposited
metal is sufficiently thick) and to monitor processing consistency.
Procedure
This test requires an ohmmeter or a voltage source / picoammeter (SMU).
Apply an ohmmeter (or perform an IVusing the SMU) between the two ends
of the appropriate metal line test-structure (if available) or to either
end of one of the detector metal strips (if no test-structure available).
Acceptance
Series resistance < 15 ohm/cm
3.3.3 Implant sheet resistance
Aim
Measurement of sheet resistance of p implant, to check that the value is
within specifications and to monitor processing consistency.
Procedure
This test requires an ohmmeter or a voltage source / picoammeter (SMU),
and requires the use of the appropriate test-structure if available. Contact
the ohmmeter (or perform an IV using the SMU) between the two contacts
of the sheet resistor test-structure.
Acceptance
Sheet resistance < 200 Kohm/cm
3.3.4 Flat band voltage
Aim
To determine flat band voltage as a monitor of processing consistency.
Procedure
This test requires a voltage source, and a CV meter equipped (if necessary)
with an external bias adapter. The measurement requires a MOS test-structure
if available. Place the MOS on a probestation chuck and contact the MOS
with a probe needle. Connect the MOS metal and the backplane to the AC
and voltage outputs (respectively) of the CV meter. Measure capacitance
across the MOS (at 1kHz with CR in SERIES) as a function of bias up to
50V.
Acceptance
There is no defined acceptance criteria. Flat band voltage is used as a
monitor of processing consistency.
3.3.5 Wafer Thickness
Aim
To verify manufacturer's thickness declaration.
Procedure
Using a miniature detector, or a wafer segment if available, use a digital
micrometer with 1um resolution. Note this is a destructive test.
Acceptance
Agreement with manufacturer data, within 5um.
3.4 Recommended Test Procedures
3.4.1 General
To minimize the risk of error, the following general procedures are recommended
during testing:
-
Always use a barcode reader to enter the serial number, prior to any test.
-
Verify that the detector is registered and "owned" by your institute before
commencing any test. This can be completely automated in the Labview DAQ
program using a lookup table generated from OMNIS or by the web. Regenerate
the lookup table every time detectors are received or sent in a shipment.
-
File management (generation and backup of raw data files, database upload
files etc) should be invisible to the user, without requiring manual intervention.
-
Upload the database files to the database routinely at the end of each
day. The java upload program ensures automated file removal if the upload
is successful, requiring zero manual intervention
-
Keep track locally of which detector has undergone which test. An excel
spreadsheet with serial numbers derived from OMNIS or the web is ideal.
3.4.2 Tests on every Detector
In addition to the IV scan, we require a full visual scan of the detector,
paying particular attention to the condition of the cut edge and the bias
resistors. The visual scans should ideally be automated (XY of either the
stage or microscope is controlled programmatically by PC) to ensure 100%
coverage. Alternatively manual scanning can be performed if adequate care
is taken to ensure that all the detector is scanned (eg by taking note
of strip numbers throughout the scan). Note the following procedures
assume detector packaging used by Hamamatsu, and similar procedures should
apply for non-Hamamatsu packaging.
-
Remove detector from its envelope. The detector is sandwiched between two
cards. Remove one card such that the detector lays strip-side down on one
of the cards.
-
Search for any signs of silicon debris in the detector envelope or within
the cards. If debris is present, be sure to remove it before eventually
returning the detector to the envelope, and identify the source of the
debris during the visual scans of the detector.
-
Examine the back surface by eye. Take note of any blemishes or scratches.
If there are indications of edge chipping, place the card and detector
on the probestation chuck (with the detector still strip-side down on the
card) and measure the width of the chipping. Take a picture if appropriate.
-
Ensure the probestation chuck is completely clean and clear of any debris.
-
Place the detector directly on to the probestation chuck, with the strip
side facing upwards.
-
Check that the serial number scratched on the identification pads matches
the serial number on the detector envelope.
-
At high magnification, scan along all four edges, searching for edge chipping,
scratching or other damage.
-
With the same high magnification, scan along the bias resistors, searching
for breaks, signs of processing defects or non-uniformity.
-
At lower magnification, scan the full area of the detector, taking note
(and taking pictures where appropriate) of blemishes, scratches or other
non-standard features.
-
Save the database file, which should include all comments and pictures
taken. The detector should be flagged as having failed if any edge chipping
(front or back) exceeds 50um, if there is severe scatching or other gross
defects, or there are signs of a processing abnormality. If in doubt, select
the detector for a full strip test to confirm any defects electrically.
-
Raise the chuck and probe the bias rail, and perform an IV scan.
-
It might be most convenient to perform a CV measurement directly after
the IV scan.
3.4.3 Tests on a Detector Subset
For a subset of detectors (~10%), perform the following after the visual
scan and IV scan:
-
Ensure all detector frames are completely clean and clear of debris.
-
Mount the detector in a frame, and bond the bias rail and edge contact
out to suitable connectors.
-
Place the frame on the probestation chuck and perform the full strip test.
-
After the full strip test has been performed on 5 detectors or more, start
the leakage current stability test on all 5 in parallel by means of the
switching matrix. During the 24 hours of the stability test, further full
strip tests can be performed on other detectors.
-
It is recommended to perform the interstrip capacitance and strip metal
resistance tests on a smaller subset of detectors (~1%). Do these tests
after the leakage current stability test, with the detectors still in the
frames.
3.5 Obsolete Tests
The tests listed in this section are redundant, because the information
they yield is already obtained more effectively by the full strip test
detailed in section 3.2.2. However the test procedures are retained here
for reference.
3.5.1 Bias Resistance and Interstrip Resistance
Note: the values of the bias resistors are yielded by the Full Strip Test,
so this test would not normally be performed.
Aim
Determine the bias resistor value is within specifications and that the
interstrip isolation is sufficient when under bias.
Procedure
This test requires a voltage source and a volt source / picoammeter (SMU).
This measurement yields both the polysilicon bias resistance and the interstrip
resistance. Place the detector backplane on the chuck of a probestation
and contact the bias rail and a strip implant by probe needles. The backplane
and bias rail should be connected to the high and grounded-low outputs
(respectively) of the voltage source. The strip implant and bias rail should
be connected to the high and low outputs (respectively) of the SMU. Perform
an IV (using the SMU) up to 1V to determine the resistance between the
strip implant and bias rail as a function of bias voltage (increase detector
bias from 0 V to 5 V in steps of 0.2 V).
Acceptance
Interstrip resistance is sufficient if the measured resistance vs detector
bias plateaus. The plateau level resistance is equivalent to the polysilicon
bias resistance, and must be within 1.25 +/- 0.75 Mohm.
3.5.2 Coupling Capacitance
Note: the coupling capacitance for every strip is yielded by the Full Strip
Test, so this test would not normally be performed..
Aim
To determine the coupling capacitance between the strip metal and strip
implant, to check that the value is within specification and to monitor
processing consistency.
Procedure
This test requires a CV meter. Place the detector backplane on the chuck
of a probestation and contact the metal and implant of a strip with probe
needles. Connect the strip metal and implant to the AC and voltage outputs
(respectively) of the CV meter, with the CV meter sourcing 0V. Measure
the capacitance between the metal and implant at 1 kHz with CR in PARALLEL.
Acceptance
Coupling capacitance > 20 pF/cm
3.5.3 Standard Strip Test
Note: the strip integrity is yielded by the Full Strip Test, so this test
would not normally be performed.
Aim
Check each strip for pinholes in the oxide, for shorts between strip metals,
and for discontinuities in the strip metals as a verification of manufacturer
supplied data and to check that the strip defects are within specifications.
Procedure
This test requires a volt source/picoammeter (SMU) to check for oxide pinholes,
a CV meter to measure capacitance, and a switching matrix. The detector
is placed on the chuck of an automatic probestation, and strip metal pads
corresponding to Row C are probed under computer control with the light
on. Pinholes in the strip oxide are determined by a measurement of current
between the strip metal and backplane with +10V or +100V on the needle
and the detector backplane at ground potential. A series resistor of ~10Mohm
should be used to limit the current in case of pinholes. The following
technique for each strip measurement has been demonstrated to work well
without any damage to the detector, and is therefore recommended, though
alternative techniques are acceptable:
-
Switch the probeneedle to the high output of the SMU sourcing 0V, and the
backplane to grounded low output of the SMU.
-
Step to strip n and raise the chuck
-
Increase the SMU source to +10V, wait 1 second and measure the current
to determine electrical continuity across the oxide. If the current exceeds
50nA (which defines the existence of a pinhole at low volts), skip steps
4 and 5 and go to step 6.
-
If the measured current is less than 50nA, increase the SMU source to +100V
(no ramp), wait 1 second and recheck the current.
-
Decrease the SMU source to 0V (no ramp).
-
Switch the probeneedle to ground (ie short the needle to the detector backplane)
and wait for 500ms
-
Switch the probeneedle to the AC output of the CV meter, and the backplane
to the voltage source of the CV meter (with the CV meter sourcing 0V).
-
Wait 1 second and measure the capacitance (at 1kHz, with CR modelled in
SERIES)
-
Lower the chuck
-
Repeat the measurement cycle from point 1 above for strip n+1.
The test (as demonstrated on a SUMMIT 10K probestation) takes about 1 hour
10 minutes.
Detector Acceptance
1. We require <2 % defective strips, where a defective strip is defined
by either of the following:
-
a current exceeding 50nA is measured when either +10V or +100V is applied
between the strip metal and backplane with a 10Mohm series resistance.
The defect is defined as a PINHOLE if observed at +10V, and an OXIDE-PUNCHTHROUGH
if observed at +100V.
-
the measured capacitance indicates a strip metal short to a neighbour or
a discontinuity in the strip metal, with the defect defined as a SHORT
or OPEN, respectively.
2. We require that the total number of PINHOLES, OXIDE-PUNCHTHROUGHS, SHORTS
and OPENS differently identified by the institute and manufacturer is less
than 3.
Batch Acceptance
The batch is accepted if the mean number of good strips is >99% and no
detector falls below 98% good strips.
4.0 Equipment Required at ATLAS Institutes
A list of equipment required at ATLAS institutes for production testing
is shown below. Recommendations are given for equipment, but alternative
equipment is acceptable if the measurement specs are comparable.
4.1 Automatic (computer controlled) probestation
eg Wentworth AWP-1050/1080, Summit 10K, Alessi 6100 etc
Requirement
For all probestation requirements. A computer controlled high precision
probestation is an absolute requirement for strip integrity tests.
4.2 High Magnification Optics with Video Capture Card or Digital Camera
eg Leica Microzoom II, up to x500
Requirement
For the visual scans. It is essential to be able to observe individual
strip defects, such as implant breaks. A video capture card (or high resolution
digital camera) is necessary to save images of defects.
4.3 Voltage source
eg Keithley 487, Keithley 6517
Requirement
For IV, CV, strip integrity, stability and general tests. Require capability
of 500V or more, both polarities, compliance up to at least 1mA. Many of
these tests are anticipated to take place in parallel, so at least two
voltage sources are recommended.
4.4 Picoammeter
eg Keithley 487, Keithley 6517
Requirement
For IV, stability, strip integrity and general tests. Require sensitivity
of 1nA (minimum) to at least 1mA. Many tests will be carried out in parallel,
so at least two picoammeters are recommended.
4.5 LCR meter
eg HP4263B, Wayne Kerr 6425
Requirement
For strip integrity, depletion, interstrip capacitance, coupling capacitance,
flatband voltage tests. Frequency requirement from 100Hz to 100kHz or higher.
The LCR meter must have an external bias adapter for applying bias voltages
up to 400V.
4.6 Ohmmeter
eg Keithley 2000/2001
Requirement
For strip metal resistance and sheet implant resistance measurements. Note
these parameters can also be measured from IV characteristics using the
voltmeter/picoammeter, so this option is not absolutely necessary.
4.7 Temperature/Humidity Monitor
eg dedicated monitors, or Keithley 2000/2001 equipped with Pt100/thermocouple,
humidity probe etc
Requirement
Temperature and humidity monitoring during IV and stability measurements.
4.8 Switching matrix
eg Pickering 20-360, Keithley range etc
Requirement
For strip integrity tests and stability measurements.
4.9 Bonding machine
eg K&S manual or automatic
Requirement
For bonding detectors in frames for the purpose of the full strip test
and long term stability test.
4.10 Environment chamber
eg Commercial or "home-made"
Requirement
To provide a stable dark environment during stability tests. Requires a
dry air (nitrogen) purge system and temperature control and/or monitoring.
4.11 Digital Micrometer
Requirement
To measure the thickness of a wafer.
4.12 Networked PC with GPIB card and appropriate LabView control software
and database software
Requirement
For all data-taking and updates to the ATLAS database. Note that database
updates are also possible via the Geneva web interface.
5.0 Database Entries
5.1 Manufacturer Data
The manufacturer will ideally register the detector into the database,
and upload all the manufacturer test data into the database before dispatch
to the institute. The manufacturer will also register the shipment of the
detectors into the database. Where this is not possible, information from
the manufacturer will ideally be provided on a PC-formatted disk to a pre-agreed
format for uploading into the database by ATLAS. As a last resort, printed
data will be provided by the manufacturer and entered into the database
by hand at the ATLAS institute. Details of the data entered by the manufacturer
can be found from the SCT Database Web Page[3].
5.2 Data from ATLAS Institutes
Test programs at the ATLAS institutes will automatically generate database
files at the end of each measurement, and the database files must be uploaded
periodically into the database via either the java UploadTestData program
or by OMNIS. The format of the database files for each measurement, and
the data entries expected for each detector are summarised on the SCT Database
Web Page[3].
