Active-Pixel Cosmic-Ray Sensor
Abstract
Cosmic-ray sensor comprises planar rectangular array of lateral bipolar npn floating-base transistors each of which defines pixel. Collector contacts of all transistors in each row connected to same X (column) line conductor; emitter contacts of all transistors in each column connected to same Y (row) line conductor; and current in each row and column line sensed by amplifier, output of which fed to signal-processing circuits.
