6.3.1 Results of the Bias ScanLeakage Current Figure 6.7 shows the result of the leakage current measurementsfor both FBK devices. The leakage current is measured at three di erenttemperatures: ≠10°C, ≠20°C and ≠30°C. The current limit is set to 100 µA toprotect the sensors from damage.The 2EM6 detector shows an early single-pixel breakdown (see figure 6.6).This pixel su ers from higher leakage current and increased noise. Pixels inthe vicinity of that pixel are also a ected by the breakdown and show an alsoincreased noise .Single-pixel breakdowns have also been observed on other 3D devices but isnot yet understood [49].Noise Figure 6.8 shows the mean noise for the normal, long, ganged and intergangedpixels depending on the reverse bias voltage. The noise was measured at≠10°C. In case of the 2EM6, a step in the noisecurve at 60 V was measured. Thestep has also been observed on other FBK 3D devices but is not yet understood.MonLeak mod 0 chip 0Row1401201008060402000 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16Column(a)5045403530252015105Noise mod 0 chip 0Row1401201008060402000 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16Column(b)500450400350300250200150Figure 6.6: Single-pixel breakdown of the 2EM6 detector at 106 V.
