“…In the literature, the definition of 5D tracking is not unique or unambiguous. Throughout the document, we will adopt a definition that integrates both definitions in [43,44]: with 5D tracking, we refer to a 4D tracking where timing information is associated to each hit in the tracker, in a high-rate environment, and where each hit also has associated energy deposit information. The novel experimental strategies and advances created by this opportunity are the main subject of this document.…”

“…Even if the LGAD technology can be implemented on both pixel and microstrip geometries [73], the requirements set by the expected high rates and high pile-up environments of the HL phase of the LHC have mostly uniquely driven the development of LGAD pixel sensors [43,58]. For these applications, in fact, the high power consumption of the pixel geometry is not prohibitive.…”

A large-area, solid-state detector with single-hit precision timing measurement will enable several breakthrough experimental advances for the direct measurement of particles in space. Silicon microstrip detectors are the most promising candidate technology to instrument the large areas of the next-generation astroparticle space borne detectors that could meet the limitations on power consumption required by operations in space. We overview the novel experimental opportunities that could be enabled by the introduction of the timing measurement, concurrent with the accurate spatial and charge measurement, in Silicon microstrip tracking detectors, and we discuss the technological solutions and their readiness to enable the operations of large-area Silicon microstrip timing detectors in space.

“…While for HL-LHC applications dedicated timing layers, e.g. based on LGAD sensors, will be added to the ATLAS and CMS detectors [13], for experiments at future colliders, e.g., LHCb and FCC, space and time measurements should be combined in a single device [6]. Small-pitch 3D pixels have been shown to offer good timing resolution, but their ultimate performance is limited by the spatial non-uniformity of the electric and weighting fields within a pixel, limiting the timing resolution [14].…”

Advances in 3D Sensor Technology by Using Stepper Lithography

3D pixel sensors aimed at the upgrades of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the High Luminosity LHC have small pixel size and pretty dense layouts. In addition, modified 3D designs with small pixel size and trenched electrodes in place of columnar electrodes are being developed to optimize the pixel timing performance in view of the LHCb upgrade. The fabrication of these advanced 3D pixels is challenging from the lithographical point of view. This motivated the use of stepper lithography at Fondazione Bruno Kessler in place of a standard mask aligner. The small minimum feature size and high alignment accuracy of stepper allow a good definition of the sensor geometries also in the most critical layouts, so that a higher fabrication yield can be obtained. In this paper, we will present the main design and technological issues and discuss their impact on the electrical characteristics of 3D pixel sensors of different geometries.

“…4 shows that the signal fluctuation (σ V ) should be reduced to achieve a better timing jitter σ t and the slew rate dV dt should be maximized. In case of a sensor with an internal finite gain G [3][4][5], the slew rate is proportional to G d . This analysis suggests that thin sensors with large internal gain will in principle result in a better timing jitter.…”

Major advances in silicon pixel detectors, with outstanding timing performance, have recently attracted significant attention in the community. In this work we present and discuss the use of stateof-the-art Geiger-mode APDs, also known as single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), for the detection of minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with best-in-class timing resolution. The SPADs were implemented in standard CMOS technology and integrated with on-chip quenching and recharge circuitry. Two devices in coincidence allowed to measure the time-of-flight of 180 GeV/c momentum pions with a coincidence time resolution of 22 ps FWHM (9.5 ps Gaussian sigma). Radiation hardness measurements, also presented here, highlight the suitability of this family of devices for a wide range of high energy physics (HEP) applications.
