空间辐射诱发PPD CMOS图像传感器信号转移损失的物理机制研究

The CMOS image sensors used in space satellites are the key devices of the capability in space surveillance, attacking, and situation awareness. However, the CMOS image sensors are very sensitive to the space radiation damage, which can even induce the CMOS image sensors to be functional failure. It has become one of the key technique bottleneck problems on high reliable and long life operation of long term spacecraft in orbit. With the implementations of the “manned space flight project” and “high resolution earth observation project” and the requirements of the imaging of high resolution and large arrays, high frame rate output, and the real time signal feedback, the problems of the charge transfer loss of PPD CMOS image sensors induced by space radiation are becoming increasingly prominent. However, the researches of theories and experiments about these problems are lacked. This project will plan to research the physics mechanisms on the charge transfer loss of 0.18 μm PPD CMOS image sensors induced by space radiation in depth. The experiments of the PPD CMOS image sensors irradiated by the accelerator protons, the reactor neutrons, and the 60Co γ rays will be carried out separately. By combining the radiation experiments with the simulations of radiation damage, the transportion simulation of the radiation particles, and the on-orbit images, the physics mechanisms on the charge transfer loss of 0.18 μm PPD CMOS image sensors induced by space radiation are researched in depth. It will provide the basis of the theories and experimental techniques for ensuring the orbital function and radiation hardening techniques of the PPD CMOS image sensors.
