Change of Properties of CMOS Image Sensor Irradiated with 9 and 16 MeV Protons

Article Preview

Abstract:

The 9 and 16 MeV proton irradiations of CMOS Image Sensor in the fluence range from 5x108 to 4x1010 cm-2 and 5x109 to 1x1013 cm-2 have been carried out respectively. The color pictures and dark output images are captured, and the average brightness of dark output images is calculated. The anti-irradiation fluence thresholds for 9 and 16 MeV protons are about 4x1010 and 5x1012cm-2, respectively. These can be explained by the change of the concentrations of irradiation-induced electron-hole pairs and vacancies in the various layers of CMOS image sensor calculated by the TRIM simulation program.
