Abstract
The design criteria of the first fully integrated charge preamplifier completely based on HEMTs, together with few preliminary tests of the circuit, has been already presented by the authors [G. Bertuccio et al ., Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 338 (1994) 582]. In the previous work the circuit was tested directly on wafer using coplanar probes. In this Le tter we present a more accurate characterisation of the amplifier, inc luding its noise and linearity. The results here presented have been o btained with the amplifier diced and bonded in a suitable package for low noise applications.
