Course Description

Highly sophisticated CMOS image sensors are key components of modern cameras. Technology as well as device architectures are optimized to obtain peak performance of the image sensor and the camera system. The most advanced CMOS image sensors show pixel sizes beyond 1 µm. The imagers demonstrate a light sensitivity comparable to that of the human eye.

This is an advanced course focusing on the solid-state image sensor technology. It is intended for the specialists in the field. A very good background of digital imaging is needed to get the most out of this course.

Course Objectives

  • Discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the shared pixels
  • Comparing pixels with different transistors 
  • Explaining about the noise limiting factors 
  • Performing noise measurement tools and diagnostic tools as well
  • Highlighting background of the passivation issues 
  • Discussing one of the most appealing techniques to measure the distance of object in front of the camera

 

Who Should Attend?

  • Scientists
  • Engineers
  • Managers involved with high performance CCD and CMOS imaging sensors

Course Details/Schedule

Day 1

  • What is an image sensor  
  • Sensor performance metrics: quantum efficiency, noise dark current,
