The demonstrator chip, a small-scale version of the final detector ASIC, consists of a 03 × 1 pixel matrix integrated with the front-end, a 50 ps binning TDC and read out logic. The chip, thinned down to 100 µm and backside metallized, was operated at a voltage of 180 V. The tests on a beam line of minimum ionizing particles show a detection efficiency greater than 99.9% and a time resolution down to 110 ps. © 2019 CERN.enghttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/610Gamma camera, SPECT, PET PET/CT, coronary CT angiography (CTA)Pixelated detectors and associated VLSI electronicsSolid state detectorsTiming detectorsArticle
