We show how we want to integrate a shotnoise limited ion current detection into an optogalvanic vapor cell. Such a device can be used as a sensitive detector for electric and magnetic fields as well as highly excited atoms and molecules. We excite Alkali Rydberg atoms in an electrically contacted vapor cell [1,2]. These atoms are ionized due to collisions with the background gas. A voltage directs these charges towards the electrodes on the inside of the cell, where they are detected with an amplification circuit based on thin film technology [3]. Requirements for such a circuit are among others, that it is low noise, provides a stable amplification under changing environmental conditions and is chemically inert against the content of the cell. Different implementation schemes are proposed, compared and first results will be presented.
