Cmos Technology: Chalanges for Future Development

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...

Ultra Low Power Imaging Systems Using Cmos Image Sensor Technology

The need for miniaturization in advanced science sensor systems has led to technology, the active pixel image sensor (APS). The development of CMOS timing and control electronics, imaging detector arrays, signal chains and the development of a ncw image sensor APS technology allows the integration of analog-to-digital conversion on a single integrated circuit. The impact on the-im;ging system i...

Electrical and Material Characteristics of Hafnium-based Multi-metal High-k Gate Dielectrics for Future Scaled CMOS Technology: Physics, Reliability, and Process Development

Optimizing CMOS technology for maximum performance

Since power dissipation is becoming a dominant limitation on the continued improvement of CMOS technology, technologists must understand the best way to design transistors in the presence of power constraints. The primary objective is to obtain as much performance as possible for a fixed amount of power, and it is chip performance, not device performance, that matters. In order to investigate t...

Radiation Tolerant Ultra Low Power CMOS Microelectronics: Technology Development Status

Electronic components used in spacecraft are susceptible to the radiation environment that causes detrimental effect which could jeopardize the mission. Much effort has been devoted to methodologies that would produce radiation tolerant or hardened devices hopefully with speed-power performance close to commercial parts. Recent development in combining radiation tolerance by design technique wi...
