Abstract

A TFA image sensor consists of an amorphous silicon based multilayer structure on top of a crystalline ASIC. The Multilayer acts as the optical detector, whereas the ASIC performs analog or digital signal processing for each individual pixel. Depending on the operation Mode, the dynamic range of the detector exceeds the performance of conventional CCDs by far. Pixel electronics which is adapted to the requirements of the detector can thereby maximize the dynamic range of the complete sensor array. Crosstalk among adjacent pixels can be eliminated by technological or electronic Means.
