The activities within the FERMI Collaboration were completed by the successful assembly of multi-chip module demonstrators fulfilling the technical requirements of the LHC generation of high performance detectors like CMS ECAL. Throughout the project, the Collaboration has been concentrating on providing architectures that fulfil the requirements set by the interested experiments in the domain ...

We explore the Ziptronix Direct Bond Interconnect (DBI) technology [2] for the integration of sensors and readout integrated circuits (ROICs) for high energy physics. The technology utilizes an oxide bond to form a robust mechanical connection between layers which serves to assist with the formation of metallic interlayer connections. We report on testing results of sample sensors bonded to ROI...

In this work, the authors introduce a new full-analog front-end for differential capacitance sensors which provides a DC output voltage, directly proportional to the measurand variations. The readout circuit architecture is based on a De Sauty bridge as core of the capacitive sensing whereas the feedback circuitry performs the bridge autobalancing operation by means of changes in a multiplier o...

An innovative architecture for compact, integrated volume holographic memories is described. It is based on phase-conjugate readout and on a modulator-detector-memory array implemented in a silicon integrated circuit. The lensless memory module sustains dynamic read-write holograms by periodic refreshing. The integrated circuit is described and experimentally characterized. Holograms were store...

Maturing hybrid circuit quantum electrodynamics architectures composed of semiconductor dots and on-chip microwave resonators promise an effective approach for nondemolition readouts in systems. Here, we study coherence a charge qubit coupled with high-impedance resonator. The is controlled by periodic pulse sequence, dispersive measurement performed measuring the time-averaged resonator respon...
