Abstract
CMOS image sensor hardness under irradiation is a key parameter for application fields such as space or medical. In this paper, four commercial sensors featuring different technological characteristics (pitch, isolation or buried oxide) have been irradiated with
source. Based on dark current and temporal noise analysis, we develop and propose a phenomenological model to explain pixel performance degradation.
