The MONOLITH H2020 ERC Advanced project aims at producing a high-granularity monolithic silicon pixel detector with picosecond-level time stamping. Such extreme timing exploits fast and low-noise SiGe BiCMOS electronics, and a novel sensor concept: the Picosecond Avalanche Detector (PicoAD).
A prototype without internal gain layer and 100µm pixel pitch was produced in 2022.

The 100 µPET project is developing a novel small-animal PET scanner for ultra-high-resolution molecular imaging. The design consists of four towers surrounding the tissue to be analysed, each containing 60 layers of monolithic pixel sensors and flexible printed circuits.
The monolithic pixel sensor based on SiGe BiCMOS technology with HBTs offers high bandwidth and efficient noise-power...
The RD50-MPW chip series are generic R&D High Voltage CMOS pixel chips aimed at boosting the performance of this sensor technology especially in terms of radiation tolerance, timing resolution and pixel size in view of the harsh requirements imposed by future physics experiments on tracking systems. The latest prototype, RD50-MPW4, demonstrates significant improvements on the...
