A new CMOS readout circuit for VO2-based uncooled FPAs is presented in this paper. The on-chip readout circuit consists of three major parts: An input circuit
of BCDI structure, a column-shared integration circuit of CTIA structure, and a common CDS output circuit. The simple configuration
of the input circuit makes it possible to operate more circuits in parallel, and increases the integration time and number
of pixels, the column-shared integration circuit which is suitable for small pixel size provides low noise, high gain, a highly
stable detector bias, and high photon current injection efficiency, and the common CDS output circuit is utilized to reduce
or eliminate low-frequency noise of the readout circuit. An experimental readout chip for 50-μm-pitch 32×32 element VO2-based uncooled FPAs has been fabricated. The measurement results of the fabricated readout chip have successfully verified
its readout function and excellent performance. 相似文献

A new CMOS readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for microbolometric focal plane array (FPA) is proposed in this paper. By applying multiple-module parallel working technique, the pixel readout speed of the CMOS ROIC can reach 10 MHz, which is very suitable for large-scale microbolometer array. The CMOS ROIC of each parallel working module consists of three major parts: direct injection (DI) input circuits, column-shared integrating circuits, and common noise-suppressing circuits. The readout structure of the ROIC is simple because of the DI input, shared and common circuits, and this makes the ROIC satisfy the requirements of small-pixel microbolometric FPA. Furthermore, the voltage signals from different working modules can be output according to a certain order through a high-speed output circuit. An experimental readout chip based on the proposed ROIC has been designed and fabricated to verify its readout function and performance. The measurement results of the experimental readout chip have successfully proved that the proposed CMOS ROIC can be applied to high-speed, low-noise, large-scale and high-resolution microbolometric FPA. 相似文献

We have designed and fabricated a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) vision chip by modeling cells of the human retina as hardware that are involved in edge and motion detection. There are several fluctuation factors which affect the characteristics of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) through the CMOS fabrication process and this effect appears as the output offset of the vision chip, which is composed of pixel arrays and readout circuits. The vision chip which detects edge and motion information from an input image is used for the input stage of other systems. Therefore, the output offset of the vision chip determines the efficiency of the entire system. In order to eliminate the offset at the output stage, we designed a vision chip utilizing the correlated double sampling (CDS) technique. The chip has been fabricated using a 0.6 m standard CMOS process. With reliable output characteristics, this chip can be used at the input stage for various applications. © 2005 The Optical Society of Japan 相似文献

This paper introduces a novel approach to eliminate stripe noise in infrared images. The differences between bias voltages in column readout circuit of uncooled infrared sensors result in strong stripe noise which changes slowly in time. The problem can be solved by estimating the bias of each column of infrared images and correcting infrared images with the estimated biases. The bias estimation is translated into an energy optimization problem in the paper. The optimization aims to minimize difference between neighboring columns of images. Our approach can be processed on a single image, or in a recursive way in order to significantly reduce the computation in one frame time. Our approach is compared to the state-of-the-art the stripe noise removal method using realistic infrared images, and the experimental results show the effectiveness and efficiencies of our proposed approach. 相似文献

The emergence of uncooled detectors has opened new opportunities for IR detection for both military and commercial applications. Development of such devices involves a lot of trade-offs between the different parameters that define the technological stack. These trade-offs explain the number of different architectures that are under worldwide development. The key factor is to find a high sensitivity and low noise thermometer material compatible with silicon technology in order to achieve high thermal isolation in the smallest area as possible. Ferroelectric thermometer based hybrid technology and electrical resistive thermometer based (microbolometer) technology are under development. LETI and ULIS have chosen from the very beginning to develop first a monolithic microbolometer technology fully compatible with commercially available CMOS technology and secondly amorphous silicon based thermometer. This silicon approach has the greatest potential for reducing infrared detector manufacturing cost. After the development of the technology, the transfer to industrial facilities has been performed in a short period of time and the production is now ramping up with ULIS team in new facilities. LETI and ULIS are now working to facilitate the IRFPA integration into equipment in order to address a very large market. Achievement of this goal needs the development of smart sensors with on-chip advanced functions and the decrease of manufacturing cost of IRFPA by decreasing the pixel pitch and simplifying the vacuum package. We present in this paper the technology developed by CEA/LETI and its improvement for being able to designs 384×288 and 160×120 arrays with a pitch of 35 μm. Thermographic application needs high stability infrared detector with a precise determination of the amount of absorbed infrared flux. Hence, infrared detector with internal temperature stabilized shield has been developed and characterized. These results will be presented. To cite this article: J.-L. Tissot, C. R.

A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor for the detection of modulated light under background illumination
has been developed. When an object is illuminated by a modulated light source under background illumination the sensor enables
the object alone to be captured. This paper describes improvements in pixel architecture for reducing fixed pattern noise
(FPN) and improving the sensitivity of the image sensor. The improved 128 × 128 pixel CMOS image sensor with a column parallel
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit was fabricated using 0.35-mm CMOS technology. The resulting captured images are
shown and the properties of improved pixel architecture are described. The image sensor has FPN of 1/28 that of the previous
image sensor and an improved pixel architecture comprising a common in-pixel amp and a correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit.
The use of a split photogate increases the sensitivity of the image sensor to 1.3 times that of the previous image sensor. 相似文献

We developed a highly sensitive infrared photodetection system using an InGaAs p-i-n photodiode. The temperature and data sampling rate dependences of the readout noise were measured to determine the optimum temperature for low-noise detection. The optimum temperature for sampling rates below 100 Hz was 100 K, and the readout noise at 1 Hz was 2.5 e. The readout noise at 1 MHz and 140 K was 49.4 e. The light detection limit of the system was 8.2×10(-19) W at a wavelength of 1.3 μm. The spectral noise densities of a readout circuit were measured in order to determine the origin of noise. 相似文献

Near infrared (NIR) detectors, operating in the 1.3–1.6 μm region, are key elements in a number of applications ranging from optical communications to remote sensing. InGaAs and Ge are currently the materials of choice for the fabrication of NIR detectors due to their good absorption and transport properties. However, as the required performances increase (bit-rate in optical communications, number of pixels in imaging, etc.), it becomes more and more important to reduce the separation from detectors and driving/biasing and amplifying electronics, by integrating the two components on the same chip.We demonstrate an array of NIR detectors monolithically integrated with standard silicon CMOS readout electronics. The employed low temperature process allowed the integration of the detectors as the last step of chip fabrication. The integrated micro-system consists of a linear array of 120×120 μm2 pixels, an analog CMOS multiplexer and a transimpedance amplifier. The chip exhibits a good photoresponse in the NIR, with responsivities as high as 43 V/W at 1.3 μm, dark currents of 1 mA/cm2 and inter-pixel cross-talk better than −20 dB. 相似文献

在构建的光学读出微梁阵列(焦平面阵列FPA)非制冷红外成像系统中,实现了无硅基底FPA置于空气中对人体的热成像. 通过FPA在不同真空度环境条件下的成像结果进行比较,分析了热导和系统噪声值随气压变化的关系,以及对系统成像性能的影响,并对气体分子热运动自由程大于空气传热层特征尺度时的气体热传导模型进行了修正分析和实验验证. 实验结果表明:FPA置于空气中时,气体分子撞击微梁引起的微梁反光板无序振动产生的光学读出噪声成为系统噪声的主要来源. 当真空度小于1Pa时,总热导和光学读出噪声值的变化都趋于平缓;当真空度小于10-2Pa时,空气热导的影响可忽略,总热导降低到微梁感热像素的辐射极限,光学读出噪声也降低到一极小值. 实验结果与理论分析相符合.

A network for detection of an approaching object was proposed and fabricated based on the transient response of a descending contralateral movement detector (DCMD) existing in the brain of locusts. The proposed network was constructed with simple analog circuits. The experimental results of a test chip fabricated with a 1.2 $mUm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process and the results with a simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) showed that the proposed network is able to detect the approach by generating a peak current just before collision; the peak current allows detection of the approaching velocity and direction without collision. The proposed network could be applied to two-dimensional arrays for three-dimensional motion detection. 相似文献

We propose a novel sub circuit model to simulate HgCdTe infrared photodiodes in a circuit simulator, like PSPICE. We have used two diodes of opposite polarity in parallel to represent the forward biased and the reverse biased behavior of an HgCdTe photodiode separately. We also connected a resistor in parallel with them to represent the ohmic shunt and a constant current source to represent photocurrent. We show that by adjusting the parameters in standard diode models and the resistor and current values, we could actually fit the measured data of our various HgCdTe photodiodes having different characteristics. This is a very efficient model that can be used for simulation of readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for HgCdTe IR photodiode arrays. This model also allows circuit level Monte Carlo simulation on a complete IRFPA at a single circuit simulator platform to estimate the non-uniformity for given processes of HgCdTe device fabrication and Si ROIC fabrication. 相似文献
