RoodMicrotec and CERN intensify their cooperation in ASIC testing
Deventer, October 12, 2023 –
RoodMicrotec N.V., a leading independent company for semiconductors
supply and quality services, and CERN, the European Laboratory for
Particle Physics, are expanding their collaboration with the
Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Outer Tracker ASICs project. The
long-standing partners are thus jointly facing another large and
significant project.
The ASICs tested for the CMS will enable the
collection of essential data during experiments in the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC). The LHC is purpose-built to help scientists in
addressing fundamental questions within the field of particle
physics.
As part of the planned 2026 upgrade to the CMS
detector, CERN will again use RoodMicrotec's expertise and testing
services. RoodMicrotec will test and deliver over 1,000 12" silicon
wafers. The three ASIC modules on the wafers will become an
integral part of the detectors. They will collect and process the
enormous amounts of data that emerge during the generation of
collision experiments.
"We are very pleased to have this long-standing
partnership with RoodMicrotec. In the past, we have been able to
successfully test and apply the ASIC components that are so
important for science," says Kostas Kloukinas, project manager of
the CMS Outer Tracker ASICs project at CERN.
For RoodMicrotec, the cooperation with CERN also
means a lot. Especially the opportunity to contribute to the
progress of science is very fascinating. Furthermore, the project
helps to advance the company's own expertise even further.
"The employees of RoodMicrotec are proud to be
able to significantly contribute with their services to the basic
research of the large CERN family," says Martin Sallenhag, CEO of
RoodMicrotec.
About CERN
CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle
Physics was founded in 1954 and is the world's leading laboratory
for particle physics. Here, physicists and engineers explore the
fundamental structure of the universe to find out what it is made
of and how it works. For their studies of the basic constituents of
matter – the elementary particles – they use the world’s largest
and most complex scientific instruments. To investigate those
particles, they are accelerated to almost the speed of light and
thus made to collide. The resulting events tells physicists how
particles
interact and provide insights into fundamental
laws of nature. CERN has 23 member states and further nations from
all over the world that contribute to its research programs.
