This project will build on the work by QMUL on making self-supporting low mass non-planar silicon detectors using strip sensors – the Zero support Mass Detector (ZMD) concept; where areas of 10x10cm of curved silicon have been assembled as models, and there is a funded R\&D project to build strip sensor modules to test this method. The future of large area tracking systems will rely on large scale production and assembly of stitched CMOS devices, and a necessary precursor to applying the ZMD concept to CMOS is to study the properties of thinned CMOS sensors that are assembled in a non-planar geometry. This project will tackle the ZMD CMOS paradigm.
