摘要

The Topmetal-M is a newly designed monolithic silicon pixel sensor for charged particle tracking based on a novel detector structure and implemented in a new 130 nm High-Resistivity (>1 k Omega cm) CMOS process. This sensor integrates the functionality of the Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) and the Topmetal sensor. It has a matrix of 512 x 400 pixels with the pitch of 40 mu m x 40 mu m. Heavy-ion campaigns with a (181)Td(35+) beam have been performed to study the performance of this Topmetal-M sensor. The test results demonstrate it has an excellent response to particle energy deposition. Furthermore,this sensor is still fully functional after exposure to similar to 14.1 krad, and no Single Event Latch-up (SEL) occurred. In addition, the baseline, the Equivalent Noise Charge (ENC), and the number of bad pixels show relatively good performance.
