* Discussion on CE-65++, Andrei, Szymon
  o general trend is to stick to our initial plan (see Andrei's slides from 2021/07/21 in timetable) with same matrix size and pad for the various circuits
     - of course biases will be different
  o  Three classes:
      - C: analogue with rolling-shutter => dedicated to charge collection properties
      - A: analogue output with FE from digital pixel => dedicated to digital amplifier properties
      - D: digital output with FE from digital pixel => dedicated to digital amplifiers study & digital cluster performance
  o Class analogue output with rolling-shutter (CE65v2_C)
      - nb of versions (i.e. chips) depends on tests and MOSS choices (see discussion in talks on 22/07/2021)
      - MOSS pixel pitch are now 18 um with square arrangement & 22.5 um with staggered arrangement
      - a single front-end should be chosen from the 3 versions in CE-65 (SF-DC, Amp-DC, Amp-AC) from current tests
         * probably AC is probably not favored by CERN
      !! we should pay attention nb of versions due to our limited test abilities
      - important versions: 15 um square for reference / 18 um square / 22.5 um staggered
        * 15 um square we have already in CE-65, only important if something (epi layer, FE, coupling is changed)
        * we should also consider having square and staggered version for the same pitch => 18 um hex?
      - other pitches or arrangement with lower priority: 18 um staggered / 22.5 square
      - minimum 3 chips, could go up to 5
  o Class analogue output from the FE used in MOSS digital pixel (CE65v2_A)
     - read-out uses rolling-shutter + analogue multiplexer
     - select one single pitch, like 18 um square
     - possibly various types of amplifier
        * the amplifier version should be discussed and shared with CERN
        * may have one chip per ampli version or combine various ampli versions in same chip (depending on # version)
      - typically 2 or 3 chips
  o Class digital output with the FE used in MOSS digital pixel (CE65v2_D)
      - exact same version of FE as CE65v2_A
      - possibility to have at most 2 different pixels: 18 um square (baseline) + 22.5 um staggered
         * having another smaller pitch would be interesting for position resolution but sounds difficult
      - pixel includes a discriminator and a memory or latch for read-out
        * possibility to have same read-out with one single difference between class A and D
      - typically 2 chips
  o Each chip could have various types of sensing node config: std, blanket, gap
     - seems worth to have the 3 options for each class
  o Count of chips
     - from 6 (only highest priorities) to 9 versions to be multiplied by 3 sensing node configuraionts => 18 to 27
     - still possibly 3x splits
==> discussion summarised in Christine's table present in timetable

* MOSS design, Fred
  o about newly available metal layers, still under discussion wrt timeline
     - indeed using the new metal stacks will generate modifications hence delay
  o DAC version and tests (Isabelle, Szymon): report required by CERN, executive summary being prepared by Szymon
  o otherwise, not much news, targetting completed version for end of November
 

 

* MOST design, Szymon
   o still target fully designed and functional version, even if not final, for end of November

 

* Tests of CE-65 from MLR1, Serhiy
  o since last Friday, system is working with 2 chips (B-1, A-1)
    - need to adapt more carrier-board equipped with sensors!
  o first signals observed but investigation on-going
    => urgent need of analysis sw (TAF in preparation by Jerome)

 

* NEXT MEETING: Thursday November 25th
