Figure 4.14 shows the test structure has a very linear response with a gradient <strong>of</strong> 0.97 on a log logscale before levelling <strong>of</strong>f around 28,000 DN giving a maximum full well capacity <strong>of</strong> 19400e-. Thegradient gives the QE to be approximately 4%.100Number <strong>of</strong> pixels101320 340 360 380 400 420 440Pixel values [DN]Figure 4.15 Histogram <strong>of</strong> dark pixel values for test structure D1Figure 4.15 shows the histogram <strong>of</strong> D1 pixel values for a frame taken in the dark, the standarddeviation <strong>of</strong> pixel values is 15.9 DN which is much lower suggesting D1 test structure reduces FPNgreatly compared to previous test structures. The noise <strong>of</strong> D1 was calculated to be 8e-.The tests were repeated for D2 and the results are complied in the table below.Performance parameterTest structureD1D2Conversion gain K (DN/e-) 1.44 ± 0.05 1.32 ± 0.05Quantum efficiency (%) 4.4 ± 0.6 9.1 ± 0.5Noise (e-) 8.1 ± 0.5 8.2 ± 0.5Linear full well (e-) 14,000 ± 200 16,900 ± 300Table 4.4 Summary <strong>of</strong> D test structure results53
