| contents | The Super Tau-Charm Facility (STCF) is a proposed $e^+e^-$ collider with a peak luminosity 100 times higher than that of the present tau-charm factory. The inner tracker (ITK) of STCF should feature a low material budget and high readout speed. Under these requirements, the monolithic active pixel sensor (MAPS) is considered as a promising candidate for the ITK. To minimize the power consumption of MAPS (for low material budget), larger-size sensors are proposed to reduce the scale of the readout circuitry while preserving the required position resolution. Multiple sensors with varying dimensions and structures were designed and integrated in several prototype chips for performance comparison, fabricated in a 180~nm CIS process. The in-pixel readout circuit can also provide time of arrival (ToA) and time-over-threshold (ToT) of the hit signal, with a least significant bit (LSB) of 50 ns. The peripheral readout circuit performs operations including timestamp correction, data aggregation, caching, framing, 8b/10b encoding, and serialization. According to simulation, the power consumption for a full-scale chip is about 55.7 mW/cm2. Preliminary measurements have been conducted on the prototype chips. |
