CMOS Active Pixel Sensors as energy-range detectors for proton Computed Tomography.
Since the first proof of concept in the early 70s, a number of technologies has been proposed to perform proton CT (pCT), as a means of mapping tissue stopping power for accurate treatment planning in proton therapy. Previous prototypes of energy-range detectors for pCT have been mainly based on the use of scintillator-based calorimeters, to measure proton residual energy after passing through ...
متن کاملCMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) for future vertex detectors
This paper reviews the development of CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) for future vertex detectors. MAPS are developed in a standard CMOS technology. In the imaging field, where the technology found its first applications, they are also known as CMOS Image Sensors. The use of MAPS as a detector for particle physics was first proposed at the end of 1999. Since then, their good perform...
متن کاملMonolithic Active Pixel Sensors for High Resolution Vertex Detectors
A novel Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) for charged particle tracking is presented. The partially depleted thin epitaxial layer of a low-resistivity silicon wafer is used as a sensitive detector volume from which the charge liberated by ionising particles is collected by diffusion. The sensor is a photodiode within a special structure allowing the high detection efficiency required for tr...
متن کاملStandard CMOS active pixel image sensors for multimedia applications
The task of image acquisition is completely dominated by CCD-based sensors fabricated on specialized process lines. These devices provide an essentially passive means of detecting photons and moving image data across chip. We argue that line widths in standard CMOS have been reduced to the point where it is practical to locate transistors and hence provide gain within each detector of an imager...
متن کاملCharge Transfer Noise and Lag in CMOS Active Pixel Sensors
This paper reports on the investigation of charge-transfer noise and lag in CMOS image sensors. Noise and lag are analyzed for buried-photodiode CMOS active-pixel-sensor (APS) devices using a simple Monte-Carlo technique. Since the main mechanism of charge-transfer noise involves carrier emission over a barrier, the results are applicable to the soft reset of photodiode-type CMOS APS devices, a...
