Description
Summary:Fueled by increasing market demands, CMOS image-sensor technology has been pushed to its limits by advances in semiconductor technology and pixel architecture. Jacob et al explore Technology CAD (TCAD) simulation and how it will help the designers of CMOS image sensors meet the challenges. The TCAD can accelerate the realization of compact and novel pixels while also reducing time-to-market.
