We have successfully glued the first CMS Inner Tracker Pixel 2x2 CROC Prototype Module for the Phase-II upgrade of the CMS pixel detector.
On the photo you can see the High Density Interconnect, HDI (the green flexible printed circuit board) and a frame for mounting (black). Visible at the top and bottom are the wire bond pads of the HDI and the readout chips (which themselves are underneath).
Next week, we'll move on to the next production step, the wire-bonding.
