Pixel technologies - Monolithic detectors
ORAL
CMOS image sensors have been widely applied to various fields in this decade by the great improvements of basic performances such as sensitivity, noise and resolution. Recent CMOS image sensors have achieved the pixel pitch of about 1μm, the number of pixels of 40 million or more and the input conversion noise of about 1 electron. CMOS image sensor has come to exceed CCD image sensor greatly...

Pixel technologies - Monolithic detectors
ORAL
We are developing monolithic pixel detectors in 0.2 um Fully-Deleted SOI
technology. In a SOI wafer, the photodiode is formed on the handling
substrate after removing the silicon oxide. The SOI-CMOS circuits are
fabricated on the 40-nm SOI thin film. Since the bump-bonding process
is not required, a high-gain pixel sensor with smaller pixel size less
than 20 um is achievable. In general...

Pixel technologies - Monolithic detectors
ORAL
The Silicon On Insulator (SOI) technology allows the integration of CMOS electronics on a thin silicon layer which is electrically insulated from the wafer substrate by means of a thin buried-oxide layer (BOX). Monolithic pixel sensors can be built in SOI technology by contacting a high-resistivity handle wafer substrate through the BOX. A commercial deep-submicron SOI CMOS process by LAPIS,...

X-ray imaging applications - Astronomy
ORAL
We have been developing a novel active pixel sensor, X-ray SOIPIX (Silicon-On-Insulator Pixel Sensor), for a future X-ray astronomical mission.
It offers wide-band and high-time-resolution imaging spectroscopy with a low non-X-ray background rate.
The most distinguished feature of X-ray SOIPIX is an intra-pixel trigger system for the timing detection.
We have so far demonstrated that...

Front end electronics and readout - 3D interconnection
ORAL
Abstract
Large-scale integration (LSI) technology in two dimensions has been the norm over the past three decades. However, the industry is now rapidly moving into the era of sub-20-nm nodes, and continuation of the present scaling trend will require the introduction of new transistors with three-dimensional (3D) structures and new materials and processes. This is expected to dramatically...

Pixel technologies - Monolithic detectors
ORAL
This work presents the design and characterization of a CMOS monolithic active pixel sensor manufactured in a commercial 65 nm process. The sensor is our first prototype in this technology for next generation, ultra-high resolution and radiation-hard direct detectors for electron and X-ray imaging, and follows previous developments in 0.35 µm and 0.18 µm CMOS processes. The chip features...

Pixel technologies - Monolithic detectors
ORAL
In 2001, a video camera of one million frames per second (1 Mfps) was developed by Etoh et al. In-situ Storage with more than one hundred CCD memory elements were installed for each pixel. Simultaneous recording in all pixels realized the ultra-fast image capturing. The pixel count was 86 kpixels. The type of the sensors was named ISIS, In-situ Storage Image Sensor. They have been continuously...

Front end electronics and readout - Readout chip developments
ORAL
The European X-ray Free-Electron Laser Facility will generate extremely brilliant, ultra-short pulses of X-rays, imposing challenging constraints to the detectors to be used in the experiments. It is expected to have a peak brilliance of 10^33 ph/(s mm^2 mrad^2 0.1%BW), 9 orders of magnitude more than 3rd generation synchrotron sources. The flux will be such that many pixels will have to cope...
