Design and Characterization of Ionizing Radiation-Tolerant CMOS APS Image Sensors up to 30 Mrd (Si) Total Dose
An ionizing radiation-tolerant CMOS active pixel sensor (APS) image sensor test chip was designed employing the physical design techniques of enclosed geometry and -channel guard rings. The test chip was fabricated in a standard 0.35m CMOS process that has a gate-oxide thickness of 7.0 nm. It was irradiated by a -ray source up to a total ionizing radiation dose level of approximately 30 Mrd (Si...
متن کاملImproved Design of 1T Charge-Modulation Pixel Structure for Small-Size and Low-Dark-Current Achievements
A ring-gate design of 1T (single-transistor) chargemodulation pixel structure is proposed. It obviates the need to employ STI (shallow trench isolation) for avoiding crosstalk. This enables achievements of smaller pixel size and/or higher fill factor. It also reduces dark current by limiting peripheral leakage current contribution and minimizing band-to-band tunneling effect. A test chip integr...
متن کامل4T CMOS Image Sensor Pixel Degradation due to X-ray Radiation
-This paper presents a radiation study on the pinned photodiode (PPD) and Transfer Gate (TG) of 4T (4 Transistor) CMOS Image Sensors (CIS). The PPD and the TG are the most sensitive elements for the sensor’s dark signal. The transfer gate length has an effect on the dark current due to the electric field variation in the transfer channel and the defect generation near the overlap region between...
متن کاملActive Pixel Sensors Fabricated in a Standard 0.18 um CMOS Technology
CMOS image sensors have benefited from technology scaling down to 0.35μm with only minor process modifications. Several studies have predicted that below 0.25μm, it will become difficult, if not impossible to implement CMOS image sensors with acceptable performance without more significant process modifications. To explore the imaging performance of CMOS image sensors fabricated in standard 0.1...
متن کاملPixel Design and Evaluation in CMOS Image Sensor Technology
A chip designed in a 0.18 μm CMOS Image Sensor Technology (CIS) is presented which incorporates different pixel design alternatives for Active Pixel Sensor (APS). CIS technology improves characteristics such as sensitivity, dark current and noise, that are strongly layout dependent. This chip includes a set of pixel architectures where different parameters have been modified: layout of active d...
