Making Large Pixel Image Sensors Fast – Characterization of Different Pixel Designs

Published: Oct 2018

Even though image sensors have become smaller and smaller in the past years for usage in mobile phone and digital cameras, there are still applications which require large image sensors. For example, X-Ray sensors are used in a wide range of medical, industrial and scientific applications. Such large pixel designs come with their specific design challenges especially if they have to been read out fast.
In this webinar X-FAB will showcase its 0.18 µm CMOS process (XS018) that is particularly well-suited for image sensors. The presentation will focus on large pixel designs. Several pixel layouts with different photodiode shapes have been tested and characterized. You will learn about the pros and cons with regards to speed, full well capacity and image lag for the these layout structures. Register now to find out how your pixel design can be optimized!
