  • Publication number: 20250081655
    Abstract: A matrix photosensitive detector organized in pixels and to a method for producing the detector, the detector comprising: a flat substrate having multiple interconnect levels connected to one another by through vias, a photodetector grouping together the pixels of the photosensitive detector, arranged on a first external face of the flat substrate and configured to bring about conversion of radiation to which the detector is sensitive into an electrical signal by each of the pixels, semiconductor microcircuits configured to drive and read out each of the pixels, the microcircuits being arranged facing each of the pixels or between adjacent pixels perpendicular to the substrate, each microcircuit being carried on a microsubstrate independent from the flat substrate of the photosensitive detector, the microcircuits being connected individually to the flat substrate at one of its interconnect levels.

  • Patent number: 11522003
    Abstract: A matrix-array detector and to a method for implementing the detector are provided. The detector includes an array of pixels that are sensitive to a physical effect and arranged in a matrix along rows and down columns, each pixel generating a signal according to the physical effect; row conductors, each allowing the pixels of one row to be driven; a first group of driver modules each delivering selection signals to one row conductor of a first group of row conductors; a second group of driver modules each delivering selection signals to one row conductor of a first group of row conductors; the first and second groups of row conductors being interlaced.

  • Patent number: 10999547
    Abstract: A matrix-array detector includes an array of pixels that are sensitive to a physical effect and arranged in a matrix along rows and down columns, each pixel generating a signal according to the physical effect; row conductors, each allowing the pixels of one row to be driven; driver modules delivering selection signals to the row conductors, the driver modules being configured to deliver signals according to either of two levels, one being a high level allowing one of the rows of pixels to be selected and the other being a low level not allowing it to be selected. The detector further comprises impedance modules that are connected to each of the row conductors and configured to decrease the impedance of each row conductor and to keep the impedance of each row conductor low in a phase of reading the array of pixels as long as the corresponding selection signal is at the low level, the impedance modules being separate from the driver modules.

  • Patent number: 10574920
    Abstract: An image detector comprises a sensor produced on a first monolithic substrate comprising a set of pixels organized in a matrix on rows and columns and configured to generate signals as a function of a radiation striking the detector, column conductors, each linking the pixels of a same column and intended to convey the signals generated by the pixels, at least one bump contact situated at the periphery of the first substrate and outside of the matrix of pixels and linked to the column conductors. At least two column conductors are connected together on the first substrate outside of the matrix of pixels and the column conductors connected together converge toward the at least one bump contact.
