OCTOPUS is a project within the CMOS Working Group (WG 1) of the Solid State Detectors Research and Development Collaboration (DRD3) at CERN.

Project goal: This project concerns the simulation, development and evaluation of monolithic fine-pitch pixel sensors implemented in the TPSCo65 process, targeting the vertex-detector requirements of future Lepton Colliders as outlined in the ECFA detector roadmap. Key final development goals include 3 µm single-point resolution, down to 5 ns time resolution as required for the high-energy Linear-Collider proposals, thinning to 50 µm, an average power consumption below 50 mW/cm2, a minimal inactive periphery area, and a sensor architecture scalable to a large-area detector system. The development of new high-resolution sensors for beam telescopes at DESY and CERN is foreseen as an intermediate target, with relaxed power-consumption (<500 mW/cm2) and timing requirements (100 ns). This staged approach allows for a further refinement of the performance targets, following the conclusions of the next update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics.
