Enhancement of the total dose tolerance of a commercial CMOS active pixel sensor by use of thermal annealing

We have studied the possibility of extending the lifespan under radiation of Active Pixel Sensors by subjecting them to high temperature heating cycles while being exposed to gamma rays. We found that thermal annealing of the sensors is effective and can improve their tolerance to total ionizing dos...

Summary:We have studied the possibility of extending the lifespan under radiation of Active Pixel Sensors by subjecting them to high temperature heating cycles while being exposed to gamma rays. We found that thermal annealing of the sensors is effective and can improve their tolerance to total ionizing dose.
