  • Abstract
    A back-illuminated 2 megapixel CMOS sensor utilizing mature wafer manufacturing operations is described. Sensitivity, dark current and other key pixel performance measures are compared against an equivalent conventional sensor. Aspects of the process integration that make the technology manufacturable are described. Simulations that predict the performance of a full color sensor are discussed.
