IBL Stave Loading Status

Summary of the activities at UniGe:- Stavelet program for thermal interface investigation- Electrical insulation of module versus stave

Stavelet – Loading with glue/grease test program

Purpose of the tests – glue versus grease:• Selection of candidates according to past experiences, thermal performances, viscosity, …• Evaluation of weight versus area• Optimization of the glue/grease dispensing technique (no glue overlap between the 2 chips)• Thickness uniformity and placement accuracy – XYZ metrology • Robustness to thermal cycling – XYZ metrology • Rework ability?

Removal and evaluation of time and risk for this operation Inspection of neighboring module edges Inspection of remaining surface loading again

• Does the use of Parylene® coating make a change?• Practical use

Independent tests to the stavelet program:• Radiation hardness of the glue and grease samples – Thermal performances, consistency…• Glue and grease mechanical and thermal characterizations• Others…

Carbon Foam Electrical Insulation using Parylene® Coating – Investigation for IBL Stave

Concerns:- Carbon foams are electrical conductive materials- IBL module require an electrical insulation for the FEI4 backplane but as well as for the detector HV- Depending of the detector technology the potential at a distance of 300µm from the foam can be as high as 1000V.- Bare foams can easily release carbon dust that could cumulate and be oriented into the electric field and therefore reduce the insulating distance

Proposal is to use of a thin coating like Parylene® allowing:- To prevent electrical problems and limiting the thermal resistance- To contain and avoid releasing carbon dusts

Set-up – 1st Testing Step

- Cupper foils were directly in contact with the foam samples- 3 samples tested for the resistivity (non coated, 5µm and 20µm)- 2 samples tested for HV insulation (5µm and 20µm)

5 µm Yes 550 (over 10 microns)

20 µm Yes 1100 (over 40 microns)

Comments: The coated (5-20 microns) foams does not release any visible carbon dust.

NB: - Safety factor should be applied to the limit to get guaranty on long term QA- Considering a safety factor , the current design is acceptable with 10-20 µm Parylene®

Additional Comment

Observed during SCT production and QA

Stave coating is clearly an advantage in such a case even for backplane/edge voltage like 100V

Summary

• Stavelet Program - Goal is to test various thermal interfaces to evaluate the practicality for loading, the thermal stability, the weight, the rework-ability - Thermal evaluation of a selected grease interface will be done with dedicated thermal set-up- Time scale: ~3 months

• Module to stave electrical insulation- Parylene® coating have been made on POCOFoam samples: 5, 10 and 20 microns- Coating almost invisible under the microscope- No carbon dust release when touching the samples with the fingers- In IBL condition with ~300µm gap from the sensor edge to the stave it will be risky to operate it without an insulating coating. - The preliminary recommendations from this test is to coat the stave with 10 to 20µm Parylene®.- Remaining question: Is this 10 to 20µm enough when considering the aging, and the radiations

• Stave loading concept- Close connection between CPPM and UniGe- Common concept with a cradle and a manipulator- Progress to be made with a nominal stave design
