Wafer post processing
• Use microelectronics to add functionalities
• Chip still functional after process
-Temperature budget
-Plasma damage
-Stress
• Wafer level and chip level post-processing
• Suitable for Medipix, Timepix, Gosssipo, PSI-46…(general purpose process)

Materials for the structures
• SU-8 negative photoresist for insulating pillars– Easy to define structures by lithography
– Low temperature process (below 95 °C)
– Suitable thickness range (2μm to 1mm)
– Insulating as Kapton foil (3MV/cm)
– Some radiation hardness data available
• Aluminum for conductive grid– Commonly used in microelectronics
– Easy to deposit
– Easy to pattern
– Low residual stress

And it works• Voltage on top grid, middle grid floating• Next step integrate on a chip with voltage on both
electrodes

Triple grid•Follow same fabrication scheme
•Lower electric field facing the chip in Twingrid and triple grid
-reduce spark risk? reduce a-Si thickness needed?
•Intentionally misaligned grids can reduce ion-back flow?
