OSTI ID:6721883
An asynchronous version of a binary pixel readout circuit has been implemented in an array with 16 columns at 500 [mu]m pitch and 63 rows at 75 [mu]m pitch. This readout chip has been bonded with solder bumps to a silicon detector with matching pixel elements. event information in a pixel can be strobed into a local memory by a trigger signal and subsequently read out. Without a strobe the information in this memory is continuously cleared. The complete hybrid detector has been successfully tested with ionizing particles from a radioactive source. Three such devices have been put in the CERN heavy ion experiment WA94 in the Omega spectrometer where they recorded particle tracks form high multiplicity [sup 32]S interactions.
