6 Some Details - Pixel
7 CMOS Pixel Structures PRST RRST VDDI 3T 4T COL 5T PPD FD RSEL TG Multi-T I
8 CMOS Pixel Selection Pixel determines Basic Function & Capability of System Pixel 3-Transistor 4-Transistor 5-Transistor Multi-T Features Best Fill Factor, high Saturation, simple Architecture Elektronic Global Shutter not possible Limited possibilities for Adaptation (FW, CCE, NEE, ) Rolling Shutter with CDS (low noise) Global Shutter without CDS and without Exposure Control Better Fill Factor, good saturation level stop action function comparable to CCD ILT Global Shutter with Exposure Control possible Good Fill Factor, good saturation level Many Ideas, few products with 6, 7, 8 or more transistors Lowest Fill Factor, lowest saturation level Main Goal: Global Shutter with CDS (low noise) 8
9 Some Details - ADC
10 CMOS Image Sensor - ADC Selection ADC Single Slope Successive Approximation / Algorithmic Multi-Slope Sigma Delta Status Commonly used (various Models), 10-14bit No Linearity issues, low power consumption (up to ~Gbps) Low complexity, allows narrow column pitch Conversion rate limited by linear Ramp and counter Best candidate for 2 nd place in Image Sensors Potential to reach lowest power consumption Requires complex circuitry within a column Very tight connection between: column pitch, power, bit depth and bit rate - specifications need to be traded-off against each other Rarely outside of research projects Often shows linearity issues between coarse and fine steps Rare in the past, gaining with increasing bit depth and bit rate Very fast, with oversampling; enables high bit depth and rate Requires complex analog an digital circuitry High power consumption and complicated column construction 11
11 Some Details - Outputs
12 CMOS Outputs Digital data rate influences Line Rate and power consumption Output Analog CMOS I/O LVDS / Sub-LVDS SerDes Status Standard in CCD and older CMOS, today in special cases Mpix/s/pin, ADC components in camera Typical for communication with Sensor Slow (and today rare) to output data, 5-10 Mpix/s/pin Typical Data Format, sometimes also for communication Hardware Layer of the CameraLink Standard ~30mW/lane (10mW/lane), Mpix/s/lane, fully digital, robust Computer Standard today: CPU, memory, SATA, PCIx, Hardware Layer of the CLHS Standards (FALCON2, P4) ~10mW/lane, Mpix/s/lane, fully digital, robust No application in CMOS Image sensors as yet 13
13 Enables higher Integration CMOS in Imaging... ADC, biasing, controls integrated in chip Programmable, self or single-trigger Operation Delivers higher Speed Fast ADCs and/or highly parallel Processes High digital Data rates with low power consumption Offer extended Functionality Integration Control: Global Shutter, Exposure Control Frame-to-Frame Functions: Windowing, Gain, Resolution,... Application Adaptation: Bit depth, Snap Shot Mode,... Special functions: Wide Dynamic Range, shutter modes,...
14 Image Quality
15 Between Saturation and Noise Future Technologie needs to: Reduce Noise Global Shutter ~10 e- desirable Today ~ 1 / 1000 FW (DNR 60dB) Full Well - maintain or increase 30-40ke- desirable ~40ke- SAT Despite 4x Gain SNR in dark regions is too low - noise needs to be reduced Good image content, but Display-DNR hinders readability ~10ke- SAT Good readability with 4x Gain ~10ke- SAT Signal: ~ 5.25ke- Background: ~ 4.25ke- Contrast: 21% SNR: ~10 Signal: ~ 7.00ke- Background: ~ 4.00ke- Contrast: 54% SNR: ~70 Bright spots saturated - Higher FW required
16 Sensitivity number of photons is limited by system Sensor should capture all photons Fill Factor (FF) measures photons available per pixel Also influences acceptance angle, colour reproduction and MTF Sensor needs to convert all photons into electrons Quantum Efficiency (QE) measures photons converted per pixel Silicon property, can be influenced through process technology Wavelength dependent Typical Spec is eff. QE, measured as FF*QE Goal: More Electrons per Pixel with same Lighting
17 Optisches Pixel Design Acceptance Fill Factor Angle microlens optical layers optical layers electrical layers electrical layers Wafer and Photodiode Wafer and Photodiode
18 QE [%] Outside the visual Spectrum Typical QE (e.g. TD Falcon2) Monochrome vs. Colour e.g. IR Enhanced Infrared Capture Silicon up to ~1100nm Thick-EPI Wafer Material NIR and VIS filter layers UV Capture < 400nm UV-transparent Coverglass Special process steps 25.0% UV Erfassung 20.0% 15.0% 10.0% 5.0% SPEZ STD 0.0% Wavelength (nm)
19 CMOS Image Sensor Technology Tomorrow
20 The Future Architecture - I Line Scan Cost Efficient 1-Line Fast Multi-Line (> 4n) Higher Sensitivity TDI-Capability High Colour Quality Line Rates above 100 khz Area Scan Smaller Pixel (1-4 mm) Highest Resolution, lowest $/Mpix Trade-Offs in FW, NEE Larger Pixel (4-8 mm) Increasing Resolution (>12M) FW remains, reduced noise Frame Rates with 2+ GPix/s Shorter Pixel-to-Digital Path Merging Development Reduced Noise with same functionality (e.g. Gain) 12bit Column ADC with ~1 MSps, ~12bit DNR Serial High-Speed Outputs Up to 3 Gbps Mpix/s per Pin, 8b/10b encoding
21 The Future of Image Quality Area & Linescan Sensors: Reduced Noise Direct Pixel-to-ADC and Column-wise ADC Technology CDS Technology Also: High Full Well, Higher Resolution, High Fill Factor Multi-Line Sensors: Higher Sensitivity More Rows per Pixel TDI Principle Special Applications: Colour Linescan with n rows per colour or m colours Wide Dynamic Range High Full Well, reduced noise higher Dynamic Range Higher Fill Factor (e.g. Back-Side Illumination (BSI))
22 BSI Back-Side Illumination Back-Side Illumination Wafer thinned to mm Readout at front-side Advantages Std. Wafer e Optisch & Elektrisch Aktive Pixel reduzieren Füll Faktor Ausgedünnter Wafer e Elektrisch Aktive Pixel ohne Einfluß auf Lichtpfad High Fill Factor (no circuitry in light path) High QE (Stack optimized for optics, not electronics) More space in pixel for circuitry Technology increasingly available Wafer Thinning & Treatment for CCD and CMOS Optimization of specialized processes Still expensive, but increasing availability will reduce cost
