E-mail: [email protected] (Received February 28, 2023) The SuperKEKB accelerator and Belle II experiment have started full operation in 2019, establishing in 2022 a world record with an instantaneous luminosity of 4.7 × 1034/cm2/s. To reach the nominal luminosity parts of SuperKEKB will be modified with a time frame currently predicted to be around Long Shutdown 2 in 2026. Thus, the Belle II collaboration is considering the possibility to install an upgraded vertex detector (VXD) system on the same time scale. Such an upgrade should provide a sufficient safety factor with respect to the background rate expected at the nominal luminosity (6.5 × 1035/cm2/s) and possibly enhance performances for tracking and vertexing. Several technologies are under consideration for the upgrade. One approach is to improve the performance of the technologies present in Belle II: faster DEPFET sensors [1] for the innermost layers, thinner and more granular double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSDs) for the remaining layers. New monolithic technologies for pixel sensors are also under discussion, namely SOI (Silicon-on-sensor) and CMOS. They offer a combination of granularity, speed, low material budget and radiation tolerance matching well Belle II requirements and could be exploited to design a fully pixelated VXD, also benefiting from significant developments made in recent years for other experiments. Following this last concept, both simplified and complete simulations have been conducted to evaluate tracking and vertexing performance with various geometries (e.g. number of layers) and technical specifications (e.g. granularity, speed). This article reviews the context of the proposed VXD upgrade in Belle II, providing some details of the existing technological proposals and discussing performance expectations from simulations.

Introduction Super KEKB is an asymmetric energy e+e−collider at the Υ(4S) energy [2]. Belle II aims to study, primarily, the Bmeson decays in high statistics [3]. As the Bmesons move along the beam direction (z), the time dependence of the Bdecay can be measured by using the vertex detector (VXD). Therefore, the position resolution in zis equally important as in the transverse direction (r−ϕ). The current Belle-II VXD, as shown in Fig. 1, consists of two-layer DEPFET pixel detectors (PXD) [4] and four-layer double sided strip sensors (SVD) [5]. The Belle II VXD covers the angular acceptance of 17◦< θ < 150◦. SVD (R=39, 80, 105, 140) R155 PXD(R=14, 22) Beryllium beam pipe (R=10) 935 Fig. 1.

The performance of the present VXD is described in the proceeding papers of this conference [6,7]. In 2022, the peak luminosity of the Super KEKB reached to 4.7×1034/cm2/s at beam current of 1 A (e+) and 1 A (e−) and Belle II has accumulated data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 428 fb−1. To achieve the luminosity goal of 6.5×1035/cm2/s, the Super KEKB will be upgraded in two steps. In July 2022, Super KEKB entered the Long Shutdown 1 (LS1) period. The main purpose 2 011013-2JPS Conf.

The Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) is scheduled in 2026. In LS2, the Super KEKB accelerator will be reinforced to reach to the luminosity goal and collect data corresponding to 50 ab−1, as shown in Fig. 2.

The red line shows the peak luminosity in unit of 1035/cm2/s. The zero luminosity periods for the short shutdown are not shown. The blue line shows the integrated luminosity in unit of ab−1. LS1 and LS2 indicate the long shutdown periods scheduled from 2022-2023 and 2027-2029. The Belle II VXD will be upgraded in LS2 in order to improve the background immunity and physics performance. To start the design of the VXD upgrade, the beam background from the Super KEKB was estimated. Table II shows the background level at the innermost layer of the VXD at the luminosity of 6.5×1035/cm2/s with a ×5 safety factor [8]. The upgraded sensors should be safely operated at the harsh radiation condition. The optimization of the material budget and position resolution is also needed to to improve the physics performance of Belle II. In this article, the following upgrade activities [8] will be described: (a) DMAPS (fully-Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor), (b) SOIPIX (Silicon on Insulator Pixel sensor), and, and (c) TFP (Thin Fine-Pitch silicon strip sensor). 2. DMAPS - Depleted CMOS Active Sensor The DMAPS (Depleted MAPS) technology is an improvement of the CMOS Active Sensor. The CMOS circuit is developed in the deep p-well region above the p-type epitaxial layer as shown in Fig. 3. A full CMOS circuit can be integrated in the deep p-well region. The sensitive region is fully depleted with the bias voltage. The small charge collection node makes the charge collection fast and efficient. The DMAPS technology is radiation hard enough for the upgrade plan. 2.1 TJ-MONOPIX2 pixel sensor TJ-MONOPIX2 was originally developed for ATLAS and has been identified as a good candidate for the Belle II VTX upgrade. The specifications of MONOPIX2 are shown in Table III. The chip includes fast-shaping front end and time-over-threshold circuit for the cluster charge measurement. 3 011013-3JPS Conf.

The wafer is P−type high resistivity silicon. The CMOS circuit is integrated in the deep p-well. The charge is collected by the collection N-well. The P−or epitaxial region can be depleted by the detector bias. The low dose N-implant region and Ngap forms the electric field for fast and efficient charge collection. The MONOPIX2 chips were installed to a pixel telescope and the detection efficiency and position resolution were measured at the DESY 5 GeV e−beam. Fig. 4(a) shows that the detection efficiency was >99 % independent of the wafer type. The residual distribution of the cluster position (Fig. 4(b)) was consistent with (pixel size)/√(12).

The chip will include the necessary functions for the Belle II operation environment: the fast-shaping front end, charge digitization with ToT circuit, trigger-hit matching and zero suppression logic. The OR of the pixel signal will be produced for the fast hit information to the Belle II trigger. The first prototype of the OBELIX sensor will be submitted in 2023. Based on the OBELIX sensor, the mechanical design of the vertex detector (VTX) system is in progress. In VTX, not only the pixel layers but also the strip layers of the current Belle II VXD will be replaced with the pixel layers. VTX will consist of two inner layers (iVTX, R=14 mm and 22 mm) and three outer layers (oVTX, R=39 mm, 90 mm and 140 mm). To simplify the system, the whole VTX will be built with a single sensor design. For the iVTX four consecutive chips on a wafer are cut out as one self-supporting module. The interconnections between the chips and the readout electronics will be realized as a high density interconnect layer. Air cooling will be possible thanks to the small power consumption (200 mW/cm2). In the oVTX modules, the OBELIX sensors will be assembled with truss-shape carbon fibre support. Water cooling with polyimide tubes has been tested successfully. The total material thickness will be kept below 2 % radiation length (X0) to improve the physics performance, whereas the material thickness of the current Belle II VXD is 0.4 % X0(PXD) and 2.8 % X0(SVD) [11].

The effect of the increased beam background for the nominal luminosity is taken into account. Figs. 5 (a) and (b) shows the comparison of the reconstruction efficiency of soft pions (πs) from D∗meson decay. Thanks to the small material thickness and the high spatial resolution, the reconstruction efficiency of the πswill improve by 50-80 %. The efficiency improvement will result in higher sensitivity to the new physics phenomena. 3. SOI - Silicon on Insulator The SOI is a standard technology for producing high-performance CMOS circuit. The SOI wafer consists of the substrate silicon and the silicon layer for the CMOS circuit separated by a thin SiO2 layer (Buried oxide or BOX), Figure 6. In the SOI sensor, a sensor grade wafer is used. With impurity injection, a complex sensor structure can be designed in the substrate. The charge generated by the radiation is processed in the circuit layer. Fig. 6 shows the structure of PDD (Pinned Depleted Diode). The impurity structure is designed so that the charge carrier induced by radiation drifts to the collector node smoothly, therefore, the efficient and fast charge collection is realized. The BPW (Buried P-well) region is set to a fixed voltage, VBPW which prevents the substrate potential affecting the operation of the CMOS circuit above the BOX layer. Thanks to the small collection node, the sensor capacitance is as small as 3 fF. The DuTiP, Dual Timer Pixel sensor, concept is designed for the Belle II upgrade. using Lapis 0.2 µm 5 011013-5JPS Conf.

The pixel circuit is shown in Fig. 7 [12]. The ALPIDE-type front end [13] is adopted for low power consumption. The hit signal is delayed with the delay counter (timer) and the coincidence with the Belle II global trigger is taken. The coincidence reduces the background hit occupancy efficiently. Two timer are integrated in each pixel to secure hits arriving within the trigger decision time. The hit information is sent first to the column FIFO and then to the global FIFO for the readout. The trigger ID is added to each hit inside the chip. Simulation study shows the hit 6 011013-6JPS Conf.

TFP - Thin Fine Pitch double sided detector The silicon strip sensor is a suitable for covering a large area in the outer layers. Double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSDs) with a thickness of ≃300 µm were used in outer four layers of the Belle II VXD (Table I). In the forward region 17◦< θ < 45◦, the crossing angle of the charge tracks to the sensor layers becomes large. The cluster shapes are elongated and the position resolution in zrapidly degrades. The sensors in the forward region are therefore slanted (Fig. 1) to recover the position resolution. The TFP (thin fine-pitch) DSSD group proposed to replace the the existing SVD with new double-sided strip sensors made from 150-µm thick silicon wafer [14]. To reduce the hit occupancy and to improve the spatial resolution especially in z, the readout pitch is reduced from 240 µm to 75 µm (z-measurement) and 75 µm to 50 µm (r−ϕ-measurement). A dedicated readout ASIC, SNAP128A, has been produced with the Silterra 180 nm CMOS technology [14]. SNAP128A was designed to be operated in the expected high background environment of the target luminosity. The front end is a charge sensitive amplifier with a shaping time of 100 ns optimized for the 150-µmthick DSSD sensor. The signal polarity inverter is implemented for the p-side and n-side readout. After the comparator, the hit signal is delayed by a 2 kbit digital pipeline. When a trigger is received, the data one or more cells of the digital pipeline are read out. The hit information is sent to the LVDS driver. FOr the trigger purposes, the SNAP128A will provide a hit-OR signal to the Belle II trigger system. The TFP hit signal is useful for generating the fast track information. A prototype TFP sensor with a size of 59 mm ×52.6 mm was fabricated by Micron (UK). The test result will be reported in this proceedings [14]. The TFP sensor and the SNAP128A chip have been irradiated with an electron beam to measure the TID and NIEL radiation hardness. The analysis is in progress. 7 011013-7JPS Conf.
