摘要
The radiation hardness of passive CMOS pixel sensors fabricated in 150 nm LFoundry technology is investigated. CMOS process lines are especially of interest for large-scale silicon detectors as they offer high production throughput at comparatively low cost. Moreover, several features like poly-silicon resistors, MIM-capacitors and several metal layers are available which can help enhance the sensor design. The performance of a 100 mu m thin passive CMOS sensor with a pixel pitch of 50 mu m at different irradiation levels, 5 x 10(15) n(eq) cm(-2) and 1 x 10(16) n(eq) cm(-2), is presented. The sensor was bump-bonded and read out using the RD53A readout chip. After the highest fluence a hit-detection efficiency larger than 99 % is measured for minimum ionising particles. The measured equivalent noise charge is comparable to conventional planar pixel sensors. Passive CMOS sensors are thus an attractive option for silicon detectors operating in radiation harsh environments like the upgrades for the LHC experiments.
