Optical effect considerations for bulk to SOI retargeting of hybrid MOS-PN dynamic photo-sensor

Abstract

SOI & CMOS technologies have been compared many times in term of efficiencies and performances with regards to different types of applications. Nowadays, the ASIC combining optical sensor with its readout and signal processing electronics on the same chip becomes more and more a target for applications mainly in the bio and the automotive domain. Many publications have addressed the design issues. This paper aims to highlight the main parameters to be analyzed for a fast retargeting approach regarding the optics aspect of optoelectronics sensors; it will be focusing on the light to time sensors.
