CMOS Image Sensors in Harsh Radiation Environments

For TID > 5 kGySiO2 , the defects generated in the PMD influence the whole photodiode potential inducing a pinning voltage increase and degrading the charge transfer by enlarging

HEN operating in radiation environments, image sensors may suffer a variety of degrading effects, such as dark current increase and Single Event Transient

One should notice that the demonstrated role of in- terface states and trapped charges in dark current increase can be transposed to any CIS photodiode (and pixel) as long as the
