Problems solved by technology

The traditional system for measuring image retention of CMOS image sensors often ignores the temperature factor, which leads to the increase of uncertainty in the image retention test of CMOS image sensors after irradiation due to the change of ambient temperature, and may even cause the change value of image retention due to temperature fluctuations to be greater than that of radiation. Degradation value of photo-induced image retention
Random code signals may appear in the CMOS image sensor after proton irradiation, resulting in increased measurement uncertainty and even errors
In addition, after proton irradiation, when the CMOS image sensor continuously collects multiple frames of images, there may be problems with large gray values ​​in the first few frames, resulting in the inability to accurately measure the image retention of the CMOS image sensor, which seriously affects the irradiation of the CMOS image sensor. Accuracy of damage assessment

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for measuring image retention after proton irradiation of a CMOS image sensor. Temperature control is carried out by using a temperature control box, so that accurate measurement of image retention after proton irradiation of a CMOS image sensor can be realized. Calculation of an ith frame of image is carried out and an averaging method with a plurality of groups of images is employed, so that a random error caused by single measurement can be eliminated; and partial abnormal images are removed during calculation, so that measurement accuracy of image retention after proton irradiation of a CMOS image sensor can be improved. The method having advantages of high stability, high measurement precision, and simpleness is suitable for accurate measurement of image retention after proton irradiation of a CMOS image sensor and is capable of providing a technical support for irradiation damage assessment of the CMOS image sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of radiation effect testing, in particular to a method for measuring image retention of a CMOS image sensor after proton irradiation. Background technique [0002] Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors have the advantages of small size, light weight, low power consumption, and high integration, and are widely used in space fields such as star sensors, sun sensors, and remote sensing imaging. It plays an important role in space tasks such as star recognition, star tracking, attitude determination, space docking, feature tracking, landing imaging for landing control, and target tracking. However, when the CMOS image sensor is used in the above fields, it will be damaged by space proton radiation, resulting in performance degradation or even functional failure of the CMOS image sensor. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out research on proton radiation damage of CMOS image s...
