Ultra-compact and ultra-light CMOS image sensor able to operate at levels of radiation up to 1 MGy without shielding, high temperature annealing treatment or image processing. It offers the possibility to develop a new generation of tiny rad-hard cameras in nuclear remote handling, deep space or particle physics/radiation facility monitoring.

Technology assets

• world first to obtain such high quality images after irradiation of 100 Mrad (1 MGy) without shielding, high temperature annealing treatment or image processing;
• ideal for miniaturised cameras thanks to its ultra-high compactness;
• applications in nuclear power plant inspections/ monitoring/ decommissioning , deep space missions, particle physics/ radiation facility monitoring.
