The course covers many basic aspects of CMOS image sensors, starting at device physics and basic laws of light sensitivity and noise, other image sensor technologies, to CMOS pixel and array architectures. Emphasis lies on circuit principles, noise sources, how noise enters the sensor's signal, and technological and optical limits on the optical performance.
