Abstract

The upgrade of the MALTA DMAPS designed in Tower 180 nm CMOS Imaging process will implement the numerous modifications, as well as front-end changes in order to boost the charge collection efficiency after the targeted fluence of 1x10^15 1 MeVneq/cm2. The effectiveness of these changes have been demonstrated in recent measurements with a small-scale Mini-MALTA demonstrator chip. Multiple changes in the digital periphery are proposed: The asynchronous address generator will be revised to provide more control over the pulse length. The Synchronisation memory will be upgraded with the goal of achieving a sub-nanosecond timing resolution. Serial chip to chip data transfer will be prototyped, in order to gauge the plausibility of implementation on a future full sized chip. Apart from these changes, research of the overall sensor architecture will be discussed as well.
