Restrictive radiative environment: ions, protons, electrons, neutrons Frame and electrical parameters Degradation ( > 100 krad ) Limited lifetime Human access/repair impossible : high doses, in flight,... How to extend lifetime of CMOS APS image sensor in harsh environment until 300 krad then 1Mrad and more? 2
3 1. Context Work objectives Main objective : extend CMOS APS image sensor lifetime in harsh environment Develop thermal annealing method [1] Heat to recover initial parameters Apply this method at regular time to recover frame Parameter degradation Acceptable level Define fundamental parameters : Bias, temperature, annealing duration Thermal annealing Time [1] F.

4 1. Context Radiation-induced effects on image sensor Typical X-Rays degradation Main effects on CMOS APS - Increase of dark current Increase of «hot pixels» Before irradiation Time After 250 krad - Random Telegraph Signals noise - Reduced of responsivity Dark current : After 325 krad After 625 krad Hot pixel = pixel with high dark current - Leakage current in the absence of light 4
5 Image sensor principle Architecture CMOS image sensor : pixel matrix Active-Pixel Sensor (APS) : photo-detector + active amplifier Pixel : place of conversion photons electrons by photoelectric effect Clock Row decoder j Column readout circuit Column decoder i Image sensor architecture «Pinned-PhotoDiode 4T APS» 5

Law extraction depending of thermal annealing duration and temperature 15
16 Thank you for your attention Any questions? 16
17 Dark current mechanisms Origin Measurement in complete dark without illumination. Dark count = an electron is generated and pixel electronic considers it as an incident photon 4 main mechanisms : - Surface generation from trap states at the Si-SiO2 interface - Trap-assisted thermal generation of charge in the space charge layer - The diffusion current due to thermal generation of charge in the bulk - Crosstalk between neighboring pixels during charge collection, storage, and possibly readout 17
