Hybrid Pixels With Si Photodiode and 4H-SiC MOSFETs Using Direct Heterogeneous Bonding Toward Radiation Hardened CMOS Image Sensors

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...

Linear Mode Operation of Radiation Hardened MOSFETS

Comparison of Global Shutter Pixels for CMOS Image Sensors

In this paper we are presenting preliminary results from 4T technology based CMOS image sensors with global shutter, i.e. all pixels in the active array integrate light simultaneously. The global shutter operation mode is particularly important for high-speed video applications, where the more commonly implemented rolling line shutter creates motion blur. Our chips were fabricated using a 0.18 ...

Nano-Analytical and Electrical Characterization of 4H-SiC MOSFETs

4H-SiC presents great advantages for its use in power electronic devices working at particular conditions. However the development of MOSFETs based on this material is limited by mobility degradation. N-channel SiC MOSFETs were manufactured on p-type epitaxial and pimplanted substrates and the electron mobility in the inversion channels was measured to be correlated with their structural and ch...
