However, due to process variations, parameter mismatches arise and lead to Fixed-Pattern Noise (FPN), which occurs across the APS array. A common technique to reduce FPN is the use of Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) in voltage mode to reduce the FPN, but it increases the complexity of either the pixel or the external circuitry. This paper, on the other hand, presents a CDS circuit operating in current mode to reduce FPN. The subtraction operation in current mode requires simpler circuitry, optimizing the trade-off between FPN reduction and the demand for silicon area. This technique does not require any topology change in the APS pixel itself or in its basic operation cycle. Simulations and experimental results show that the proposed technique can reduce the total FPN by more than 40%.","PeriodicalId":113603,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121377918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mesoporous structures were achieved in heavily doped c-Si anodized into HF:ethanol, whereas for macroporous ones slightly doped c-Si was etched in HF and dimethylformamide solution. After electrochemical oxidation of them, it was found that depending on both the porosity and remaining cSi size, the thickness of them becomes contracted, while the reduction of the effective refractive index (ERI) is associated to the presence of silicon oxide within the structures. The optical reflectance of the as-etched, oxidized and polymer deposited macroporous silicon shows that they are excellent materials for sensor and photovoltaic application.","PeriodicalId":113603,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134024563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particle beam radiation, present in hazard environments, may cause circuit malfunctions due to interference in the device response. These variables impact the PIN diode performance, which are important devices to sensor applications, including those in space and nuclear facilities environments.

Each bacterial target is detected concomitantly to the detection of the human gene 18S. Thus, these duplex reactions have an internal control, which evaluates the performance of the whole system (chip temperature cycling and biological reaction). We found no significant difference between the results obtained in the portable equipment and in the standard benchtop instrument, the ABI7500.
