Neural Monitoring With CMOS Image Sensors
Implantable image sensors have several biomedical applications due to their miniature size, light weight, and low power consumption achieved through sub-micron standard CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technologies. The main applications are in specific cell labeling, neural activity detection, and biomedical imaging. In this paper the recent research studies on implantable CMOS i...
متن کاملFully Depleted, Monolithic Pinned Photodiode CMOS Image Sensor Using Reverse Substrate Bias
A new pixel design using pinned photodiode (PPD) in a 180 nm CMOS image sensor (CIS) process has been developed as a proof of principle. The sensor can be fully depleted by means of reverse bias applied to the substrate, and the principle of operation is applicable to very thick sensitive volumes. Additional n-type implants under the in-pixel p-wells have been added to the manufacturing process...
متن کاملDesign and Performance of a Pinned Photodiode CMOS Image Sensor Using Reverse Substrate Bias †
A new pinned photodiode (PPD) CMOS image sensor with reverse biased p-type substrate has been developed and characterized. The sensor uses traditional PPDs with one additional deep implantation step to suppress the parasitic reverse currents, and can be fully depleted. The first prototypes have been manufactured on an 18 µm thick, 1000 Ω·cm epitaxial silicon wafers using 180 nm PPD image sensor...
متن کاملA new active pixel structure with a pinned photodiode for wide dynamic range image sensors
A wide dynamic range CMOS image sensor based on a new active pixel structure with a pinned photodiode is proposed and evaluated with device simulations. The proposed pixel device has a linear and a logarithmic characteristics in low and high illumination region, respectively. The technique of direct detection of photodiode potential leads to a wide logarithmic response compared with the convent...
متن کاملDark Current Characterization of CMOS Global Shutter Pixels Using Pinned Storage Diodes
This paper describes dark current characterization of two-stage charge transfer pixels, which enable a global shuttering and kTC noise canceling. The proposed pixel uses pinned diode structures for the photodiode(PD) as well as the storage diode(SD), thereby a very low dark current can be expected. The measured dark current of the PD and SD with the negative gate bias results in 19.5 e-/s and 7...
