Radiation Tolerance of CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors with Self-Biased Pixels
نویسندگان
چکیده
CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) are proposed as a technology for various vertex detectors in nuclear and particle physics. We discuss the mechanisms of ionizing radiation damage on MAPS hosting the the dead time free, so-called self bias pixel. Moreover, we discuss radiation hardened sensor designs which allow operating detectors after exposing them to irradiation doses above 1 Mrad.

CMOS 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 کاملFully depleted and backside biased monolithic CMOS image sensor
We are presenting a novel concept for a fully depleted, monolithic, pinned photodiode CMOS image sensor using reverse substrate bias. The principle of operation allows the manufacture of backside illuminated CMOS sensors with active thickness in excess of 100 μm. This helps increase the QE at near-IR and soft X-ray wavelengths, while preserving the excellent characteristics associated with the ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Large-format Science-grade Cmos Active Pixel Sensor for Extreme Ultra Violet Spectroscopy and Imaging in Space Science
We describe our programme to develop a large-format science-grade CMOS active pixel sensor for future space science missions, and in particular an extreme ultra-violet spectrograph for solar physics studies on ESA’s Solar Orbiter. Our route to EUV sensitivity relies on adapting the back-thinning and rear-illumination techniques first developed for CCD sensors. So far we have designed and tested...
متن کاملMonolithic Active Pixel Matrix with Binary Counters in an SOI Process
The design of a prototype monolithic active pixel matrix, designed in a 0.15 μm CMOS SOI process, is presented. The process allowed connection between the electronics and the silicon volume under the layer of buried oxide (BOX). The small size vias traversing through the BOX and implantation of small p-type islands in the n-type bulk result in a monolithic imager. During the acquisition time, a...
