The present invention relates to a pixel sensor cell (1) for a CMOS sensor device comprising: - a photodiode (11) for generating photoelectrons; - a first transfer transistor (12) coupling the photodiode (11) with an intermediate node (IN) and configured t ...
In this paper, we propose a physics-based compact model of the pinned photodiode (PPD) combined with the transfer gate. A set of analytical expressions is derived for the 2-D electrostatic profile, the PPD capacitance, and the charge transfer current. The ...
We present SPICE simulations of a CMOS APS pixel element consisting of the optical sensor and the circuit. The photodiode is simulated at the physics level by means of the so-called generalized devices, without any predefined compact model. Conversely, reg ...
This article introduces a modular, direct time-of-flight (TOF) depth sensor. Each module is digitally synthesized and features a 2 × (8 × 8) single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) pixel array, an edge-sensitive decision tree, a shared time-to ...
Here we report the first known integration of CMOS fabricated silicon light-emitting diodes (SiLED) with single photon avalanche diodes (SPAD) for monolithic optics-free photoluminescence lifetime sensor pixel. We show preliminary results of the photo-exci ...
Methods based on the electron spin resonance (ESR) phenomenon are non-invasive tools adopted to investigate paramagnetic systems at temperatures ranging from above 1000 K to below 1 K. Since 2008, the group of Dr. Boero has been working on a detection tech ...
