DESCRIPTION:

Learn how to simulate and optimize your CMOS image sensors with Lumerical’s FDTD Solutions. This video shows all the steps required to parameterize your designs and obtain accurate simulation results for real use conditions. We’ll show how to use all your available computer resources to optimize your designs and provide demonstration simulations of full 3D devices.

OUTLINE:

Parameterization of your design
General simulation considerations
- Wave optics vs ray optics
- Angular response curves
  - Relationship to pixel efficiency under uniform illumination in a physical lens system
  - Relationship to the concept of a chief ray angle (CRA)
- Considerations for optimization
How to obtain the angular response curve and spectral cross talk
- How to optimize the microlens shift and other layer shifts
Optimization of different parameters, such as lens radius of curvature
Obtaining loss per unit volume in the silicon
- Advanced 3D efficiency analysis
- Use in subsequent electrical modeling
Advanced simulation tips
- Dispersive material models
- Controlling the mesh and conformal mesh settings
- Broadband simulation considerations
- Spatial point spread functions
- Color matrix calculation
