Abstract

A thick semi-3D Si sensor has been characterised after bump-bonding to a Medipix2 read-out chip. The bonding quality measured using a 90Sr-source was found to be excellent .
Comparative measurements with respect to a standard planar Si sensor comprising IV-curves, depletion voltage and energy resolution have been performed. IV-curves and depletion voltages correspond to the values expected from the sensor geometry.
The depletion voltage of the semi-3D sensor is significantly lower than the one of the planar sensor. The energy resolution of the semi-3D device has been found to be lower.
The uniformity of the pixel response has been measured using a pulsed 1060 nm laser.
