3.4 System Test in <strong>the</strong> Lab<br />

The complete <strong>ILC</strong> <strong>DEPFET</strong>-System including <strong>the</strong> <strong>DEPFET</strong> module (sensor<br />

and chips) and a DAQ-system has been tested in <strong>the</strong> lab using a 55 Fe<br />

radioactive source. The system is shown in Fig. 25.<br />

Figure 25: Photograph of <strong>the</strong> <strong>ILC</strong> <strong>DEPFET</strong>-System consisting of a <strong>DEPFET</strong><br />

module and a stack of DAQ-boards<br />

A 3.3×2.6 mm 2 and 10µm thick tungsten absorber plate with an engraved<br />

logo has been placed onto <strong>the</strong> sensor. The radiogram shown in Fig. 26 has<br />

been taken with a row rate in <strong>the</strong> matrix of 0.6 MHz.<br />

Although <strong>the</strong> single components of <strong>the</strong> system have been approved to<br />

much higher rates, <strong>the</strong> system speed has been chosen that slow to ensure a<br />

stable operation of <strong>the</strong> entire system without optimizing <strong>the</strong> critical timing of<br />

<strong>the</strong> components. The overall system noise per<strong>for</strong>mance achieved was ENC <<br />

250 e − .<br />

3.5 Preliminary Test Beam Results<br />

The complete <strong>DEPFET</strong> prototype system has been tested in a test beam<br />

period at <strong>the</strong> DESY Synchrotron in T24 in January and February 2005 using<br />

electrons of typically 4 GeV. The setup shown in Fig. 27 consists of <strong>the</strong> Bonn<br />

microstrip telescope (used be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>for</strong> ATLAS) with four double sided stations<br />

and trigger counters, and a dedicated station <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>DEPFET</strong> module.<br />
