title = "A backside-illuminated image sensor with 200000 pixels operating at 250000 frames per second",
abstract = "In this paper, a high-speed image sensor with very high sensitivity is developed. The high sensitivity is achieved by introduction of backside illumination and charge-carrier multiplication (CCM). The high frame rate is guaranteed by installing the in situ storage image sensor (ISIS) structure on the front side. A test sensor of the BSI-ISIS has been developed and evaluated. It is shown that an image with a very low signal level embedded under the noise floor is recognizable by activating the CCM.",
