Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A device simulation analysis for the Backside Illuminated In-situ Storage Image Sensor (BSI ISIS) is carried out by using the full-band Monte Carlo (MC) method. The theoretical minimum temporal resolution depends on the travel time distribution of signal photoelectrons from the generation sites to the collection site, and thus the stochastic MC method can become a powerful tool for assessing the performance limits of the high-speed image sensor. This study has demonstrated the fundamental mechanisms affecting the travel time distribution of photoelectrons, and suggested the design guidelines to realize ultra-fast image sensors.
