ARCADIA is an INFN R&D Platform for the design, fabrication and system integration
of fully-depleted CMOS monolithic sensors and associated electronics, firmware and software.
The Collaboration developed a novel sensor technology allowing for:
- Active sensor thickness in the range 50 μm to 500 μm or more;
- Operation in full depletion with fast charge collection only by drift;
- Small charge collecting electrode for optimal signal-to-noise ratio;
- Scalable readout architecture with ultra-low power capability;
- Compatibility with standard CMOS fabrication processes.
