Abstract :
CMOS image sensor hardness under irradiation is a key parameter for application fields such as space or medical. In this paper, four commercial sensors featuring different technological characteristics (pitch, isolation or buried oxide) have been irradiated with ^{60}{\\rm Co} source. Based on dark current and temporal noise analysis, we develop and propose a phenomenological model to explain pixel performance degradation.
