Description

In the high-luminosity era of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), the instantaneous luminosity will reach unprecedented levels, with up to 200 proton-proton interactions in a typical bunch crossing. To meet the challenges posed by the HL-LHC environment, the ATLAS Inner Detector will be replaced with an all-silicon system known as the Inner Tracker (ITk). The innermost part of the ITk will consist of a pixel detector, composed of approximately 10,000 pixel modules covering a combined active area of 13 m². Each of these pixel modules will undergo a rigorous electrical quality control (QC) testing procedure to ensure they meet the required electrical specifications for optimal performance in the final detector. Ensuring uniformity of electrical tests across 25 different testing sites and consistency across multiple testing stages is of utmost importance. This talk will present the specially designed tools developed to address these challenges, as well as the lessons learned so far during module preproduction.
