Total-Ionizing-Dose Tolerance Analysis of a Radiation-Hardened Image Sensor

Space systems and robots used at nuclear power plants require radiation-hardened image sensors that can function for long periods in an environment with intense radiation. This paper presents a radiation-hardened image sensor from which the on-chip control circuit has been removed. The image sensor can therefore be controlled entirely from outside of the environment. This paper clarifies the total-ionizing-dose tolerance of the radiation-hardened image sensor.
