CMOS Active Pixel Sensor (APS) Imager for Scientific Applications
A 512x512 CMOS Active Pixel Sensor (APS) imager has been designed, fabricate, and tested for frontside illumination suitable for use in astronomy specifically in telescope guider systems as a replacement of CCD chips. The imager features a high-speed differential analog readout, 15 μm pixel pitch, 75 % fill factor (FF), 62 dB dynamic range, 315Kepixel capacity, less than 0.25% fixed pattern noi...
متن کاملBack-Illuminated three-dimensionally integrated CMOS image sensors for scientific applications
SOI-based active pixel image sensors have been built in both monolithic and vertically interconnected pixel technologies. The latter easily supports the inclusion of more complex pixel circuitry without compromising pixel fill factor. A wafer-scale back-illumination process is used to achieve 100% fill factor photodiodes. Results from 256 x 256 and 1024 x 1024 pixel arrays are presented, with d...
متن کاملElectrical μ-Lens Synthesis Using Dual-Junction Single-Photon Avalanche Diode
This work presents a dual-junction, single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) with electrical μ-lens designed and simulated in 90 nm standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The evaluated structure can collect the photons impinging beneath the pixel guard ring, as well as the pixel active area. The fill factor of the SPAD increases from 12.5% to 42% in comparison with simi...
متن کاملA New CMOS Image Sensor with Pixel-Shared Design and Split-Path Readout Circuit
In this paper, a new CMOS active pixel sensor (APS) of 128×128 resolution is proposed for high quantum efficiency. The presented CMOS image sensor can operate at the power supply of 3.3V, and use both a new pixel-shared structure and split-path readout direction. This new method has the advantage that the number of transistors in each pixel is reduced to increase the fill factor by enlarging th...
متن کاملSmall CMOS Pixel Design with Single Row Line
A number of small size pixels for CMOS image sensors using just one row line to control reset and select transistors has been designed, fabricated and characterized. The elimination of an additional control line and the associated contacts provides more pixel area that can be allocated to the photodiode. On one hand, this gives a substantially higher pixel fill factor, consequently higher quant...
