“…Hybrid Visible Silicon Imager (HyViSI TM ): Unlike CCDs, which require thousands of on-chip charge transfers to form an image based on serial readout by one or a few output amplifiers, CMOS detectors comprise two-dimensional pixel arrays with a photodiode and readout circuitry in each pixel. Teledyne imaging sensors have developed a hybrid silicon CMOS detector (the HyViSI detector 15 ) by interconnecting a visible silicon photodiode array to a CMOS readout integrated circuit (ROIC). HyViSI hybrids combine the high responsivity of silicon photodiodes with CMOS parallel readout architecture, which provides unique capabilities.…”

The Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope-Astrophysics Focused Telescope Asset (WFIRST-AFTA) mission is a 2.4-m class space telescope that will be used across a swath of astrophysical research domains. JPL will provide a high-contrast imaging coronagraph instrumentone of two major astronomical instruments. In order to achieve the low noise performance required to detect planets under extremely low flux conditions, the electron multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) has been baselined for both of the coronagraph's sensorsthe imaging camera and integral field spectrograph. JPL has established an EMCCD test laboratory in order to advance EMCCD maturity to technology readiness level-6. This plan incorporates full sensor characterization, including read noise, dark current, and clock induced charge. In addition, by considering the unique challenges of the WFIRST space environment, degradation to the sensor's charge transfer efficiency will be assessed, as a result of damage from high-energy particles such as protons, electrons, and cosmic rays. Science-grade CCD201-20 EMCCDs have been irradiated to a proton fluence that reflects the projected WFIRST orbit. Performance degradation due to radiation displacement damage is reported, which is the first such study for a CCD201-20 that replicates the WFIRST conditions. In addition, techniques intended to identify and mitigate radiation-induced electron trapping, such as trap pumping, custom clocking, and thermal cycling, are discussed.

“…Readout noise of ROIC is one of a key requirement for hyperspectral applications. 1 Comparison of specifications of CRISM, PRISMA, Gaofen-5(GF-5), MAJIS and HyspIRI [4][5][6][7] Different ROIC input stages are designed depending on the wavelength of infrared radiation. CTIA can achieve high sensitivity, high linearity, and high injection efficiency [8,9].…”

Low noise is a key requirement of Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) in hyperspectral application for its low radiation. The Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) technology is commonly used to suppress the effect of noise. In this paper, CDS is improved by adjusting the time interval between the clamp and sample hold (SH), which can filter low frequency noise flexibly. A ROIC input stage integrated with low-noise Capacitive trans-impedance amplifiers (CTIA) and CDS with adjustable interval (AICDS) is designed. The SPECTRE simulation indicates that, by extending the CDS reset time, the simulation result is consistent with the analysis. The number of noise electrons reaches 32.59 e-, which is better than 56.7 e- without extending the reset time. The design of AICDS can improve the noise performance of hyperspectral ROIC, and can be widely used.
