1 Low temperature measurements of the large-area, backthinned, and lownoise TAOSII CMOS sensors Steven Johnson, Jérôme Pratlong, Amr Ibrahim, Paul Jerram, Paul Jorden (e2v technologies) Shiang-Yu Wang and Matt Lehner (ASIAA) WE PARTNER WITH OUR CUSTOMERS TO IMPROVE, SAVE AND PROTECT PEOPLE S LIVES

2 Outline 1. Application (TAOS II telescopes) 2. TAOS II Device description 3. Electo optical performance 4. Cold temperature (down to -100 C) performance 2

3 Aim of TAOS II Project To measure the size distribution of small objects (~1 km diameter) in the Kuiper Belt and beyond. As an object passes in front of a star, the star will "blink out" for a small fraction of a second. 20 frame per second regions of interest 5x5 pixels 3

4 Back thinned AR coated 1920 x 4608 (8.8Mpixels) 16 µm x 16 µm pixels 5T pixel Pinned photodiode 8 analogue outputs 1D Stitched device Sensor area 30.7 X 73.7 mm 4

5 Device Design CIS113 Pixel sampling minimum of 10 µs per line. Simultaneous addressing, sampling and readout. Define 2000 regions, 5x5 pixels each. Separate addressing on Left and Right sides to allow multi-roi. 5
