  • Abstract
    A new active pixel sensor for X-ray digital imaging using amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si TFTs) is proposed. Simulation results show that this new APS structure is fully capable of compensating for variations in threshold voltage (VT) of a-Si TFTs under prolonged gate voltage stress.
