Hybrid active pixel sensors and SOI inspired option

Two novel pixel sensor concepts for future linear collider applications are presented in this paper: a hybrid pixel sensor characterized by a layout improving the single point resolution and a monolithic detector inspired by silicon on insulator (SOI) technology. The results of charge collection studies for the first prototypes of hybrid pixel sensors with interleaved pixels are reported and the new detector test structures are introduced. The technology and the readout architecture design for SOI sensors are also discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
