摘要： The present invention provides a radiation sensor featuring a plurality of individual sensor elements, e.g. pixels, each of which having a radiation detection portion that is adapted to generate an electric current in response to impingement of electromagnetic radiation and a current amplifier for amplifying the photoelectric current generated by the radiation detection portion. Current amplification is therefore performed locally within each pixel of the radiation sensor itself. This local current amplification effectively allows to increase sensitivity and response of the radiation sensor and therefore enables implementation of the radiation sensor on the basis of CMOS technology. By means of the current amplification, the radiation sensor can be adapted for read-out by means of read-out devices and signal processing modules featuring distinct input specifications Further, a bias current required by the pixel implemented current amplifier is reproduced within each pixel and coupled to consecutive or adjacently arranged sensor elements or pixel, thereby providing a cascaded bias current regeneration and bias current distribution scheme.

摘要： Apart from a semiconductor substrate and a photosensitive region in the semiconductor substrate, which comprises a space charge zone region for generating a diffusion current portion and a diffusion region for generating a diffusion current portion, a photodiode includes an insulation means in the semiconductor substrate for at least partially confining the diffusion region against an adjacent surrounding region of the semiconductor substrate. The reduction of the bandwidth of photodiodes by the smearing of the response of the photodiode by the diffusion current is alleviated by providing an insulation means in the semiconductor substrate, which confines the diffusion region against the surrounding semiconductor substrate and hereby on the one hand reduces the number of charge carriers contributing to the diffusion portion by reducing the diffusion region, in which the diffusing charge carriers are generated, and on the other hand by “sucking off” diffusing charge carriers generated in the shrunk diffusion region by the insulation means, which is why same do not contribute to the photocurrent.

摘要： An integrated electronic device includes circuitry for providing a regulated output supply voltage level at an output node from an adjustable current. The circuitry includes an adjustable current source for providing the adjustable current and for adjusting the adjustable current to a magnitude of a target value in response to a configuration signal, an auxiliary adjustable current source providing an auxiliary adjustable current having a magnitude corresponding to the target value, and an output supply voltage level regulating loop coupled to the output node and adapted to keep the output supply voltage level at a preset value. A current selecting stage is adapted to receive the adjustable current and the auxiliary current. The current selecting stage is further adapted to supply a selected current corresponding to a lesser value of the adjustable current and the auxiliary adjustable current. Further, a current limiting stage is coupled to the output node for limiting the selected current to a predefined magnitude.

摘要： An optical detection device for detecting an intensity of a light beam in a detection window and for detecting data transmitted by the light beam includes a first detection diode and an array of at least two second detection diodes in a detection window. In addition, provision is made for a first readout circuit connectable to the first detection diode, for reading out the first detection diode at a first readout speed to detect the data, and for a second readout circuit connectable to the second detection diodes, for reading out the second detection diodes at a second readout speed smaller than the first readout speed, so as to detect the intensity of the light beam. A fundamental consideration underlying the present invention is that although the provision of additional detection diodes in the detection window initially is associated with additional expense and a reduction of the surface area of the detection window which may effectively be utilized for data detection, these disadvantages are outweighed however, by the fact that this array of additional detection diodes in the detection window enables more effective and/or less expensive control of the alignment of the light beam transmitting the data with the detection window.
