Generation and Annealing of Hot Pixels of CMOS Image Sensor Induced by Proton
Hot pixels of imagers induced by space radiation may result in performance degradation of space photoelectric detection and space imaging system. In this paper
generation and annealing mechanisms of hot pixels on CMOS image sensors(CIS) are studied by proton irradiation experiments. First
in order to investigate the properties of hot pixels induced by protons
several CIS samples were irradiated with two different energy levels (3 MeV and 10 MeV) of proton beam. In irradiation processes
characterizations of samples were carried out at different fluence points. Second
annealing experiments were carried out on the CIS samples after the irradiation. The annealing behaviors of hot pixels induced by protons of 3 MeV and 10 MeV were investigated. For the same fluence of proton irradiation
the number of hot pixels induced by 3 MeV proton beam is about 2.3 times as the situation of 10 MeV proton beam. However
comparing with the average gray value of hot pixels induced by proton beam
10 MeV is larger than 3 MeV. And the number of hot pixels produced by both energy levels increased linearly with the increasing of proton fluence. In the room temperature annealing process
the number of hot pixels decreased significantly
and the hot pixels induced by 10 MeV protons were more stable than those induced by 3 MeV protons. It was found that the interaction between each proton and each pixel is independent with each other. Under different energy levels
proton incidence produced different defects which led to different hot pixels.
