The light we usually see consists of a streamof light particles (photons) that produce acertain brightness. When this brightness fallsto a very low level, the incoming photons arenow separate from each other. Photon count-ing is a technique to measure low light levelsby counting the number of photons. The MPPC is a kind of so-called Si-PM(Silicon Photomultiplier) device. It is a pho-ton counting device consisting of multiple

APD pixels operating in Geiger mode. EachAPD pixel of the MPPC outputs a pulse sig-nal when it detects one photon. The signaloutput from the MPPC is the total sum ofthe outputs from all APD pixels. The MPPCoffers the high performance needed in pho-ton counting and is used in diverse applica-tions for detecting extremely weak light atthe photon counting level.

Industry’s first X-ray flat panel sensor that integrates “CT imaging” and “panoramic imaging” functions.Covers a wide range of radiography applications.

6 X-ray flat panel sensor C9252DK-14

Imaging examples

C9252DK-14 is an X-ray flat panel sensor spe-cially developed to meet the needs in CT imag-ing and panoramic radiography.The C9252DK-14 operates in either of twomodes; “Whole scan mode” for capturing animage in the entire active area, and “Partialscan mode” for capturing an image in a spe-cific part of the active area. This allows oneC9252DK-14 unit to work as an X-ray sensorfor either CT or panoramic imaging.C9252DK-14 has a large active area as it usesa 2-chip tiling structure and is suitable for X-ray imaging up to 90 kVp (X-ray energy).

N E W

High-sensitivity CMOS imagesensor

C9252DK-14 uses a high-sensitivity CMOSimage sensor combined with a high-brightness,high-resolution CsI scintillator coated directlyon the sensor surface. This captures sharpimages with a high sensitivity of 6000 LSB/mR*and high resolution of 2.5 line pairs/mm* whilemaintaining low exposure to X-rays.Since the sensor is a solid-state imagingdevice, there is no image distortion even alongthe image area periphery. It also provides a13-bit* gray scale ideal for CT imaging.

Dimensional outline (unit: mm)

Large active area using 2-chip tiling

The active area is formed using our ownunique 2-chip tiling structure. A high-precisionpositioning technique minimizes the sensitivitydecrease at the seam of each chip. The resultis a large active area of 24 cm x 12 cm.

Specifications

Whole scan mode / partial scan mode selectable

If CT images are needed, then select "wholescan mode" to scan the entire active area of24 cm x 12 cm at 30 frames/s. If panoramicimaging is needed, then select "partial scanmode" to scan the partial area of 24 cm x 1cm at high speeds of 146 frames/s.

Photo IC with stable timing output ideal for laser beam printers

Photo ICs for laser-beam synchronous detec-tion are designed to accurately detect andcontrol print start timing in laser printers, digitalcopiers, and multi-functional digital officemachines. Compared to conventional products,the S10456 significantly reduces variations inpropagation delay time usually caused by vari-ations in input laser beam power. This meansthere are now minimal variations in print starttiming, even if laser power varies, so that accu-rate print is realised.

10 Illuminance sensor S10604

COB (Chip On Board) type miniature package photo IC diodes

Hamamatsu has introduced a new illuminancesensor, the S10604, ideal for mass produc-tion and products where component assem-bly space is critical. The S10604 package isaround 1/5 of the size (cubic volume) of ourconventional type S9067-01, yet it has thesame sensitivity. Its improved circuit sup-presses infrared sensitivity better than theprevious model, giving it a spectral responsecharacteristic even closer to that of thehuman eye.

Applications:

N E W

Photocurrent produced by infrared remote control light (940 nm)

Photocurrent produced by infraredremote control light is around a1/4 of a conventional type

Infrared LED light at 940 nm wavelength isusually used for remote control tasks. This lightgenerates a photocurrent in the sensor evenif it enters outside the active area, and thiscauses unwanted effects. The S10604 circuitwas improved to reduce effects from this pho-tocurrent, so that its total photocurrent from940 nm light was reduced to about a 1/4 thatof the conventional type.

Electrical and optical characteristics (Ta=25ºC)

Illuminance sensor / colour sensor line-up

Illuminance sensorsIlluminance sensors can be used as energy-saving sensors for large-screen TV brightnesscontrol and backlight dimmers in cellular phone liquid-crystal displays.

Colour sensorsColour sensors are used for RGB-LED backlight dimmers in a large LCD screen TV or a largePDP screen TV, as well as various colour detection applications.

S10604

Conventional typeS9067-101

Spectral response characteristicclose to human visual sensitivity

The S10604 delivers a spectral response char-acteristic even closer to human visual sensi-tivity compared to our conventional type (byreducing infrared sensitivity). The S10604 alsofeatures minimal colour temperature error, sothat output variations are minimised whendetecting light of the same brightness such aslight from a fluorescent lamp and incandes-cent lamp.

Teseda tester connected to Phemos 1000

Hamamatsu's Phemos defect localisationtools are well known in IC failure analysis asversatile and user friendly systems. Emissionmicroscopy and laser stimulation techniquesare applied to localize defects on integratedcircuits during static or dynamic operation.Connecting a tester to such a defect localisa-tion tool becomes more and more important,especially for localisation of defects underdynamic operation and for design debugapplications.So far Hamamatsu offers several ways toconnect to a tester:- by direct tester head docking

(e.g. with the iPHEMOS system)- by cable interface (e.g. with Phemos 1000)

Now we can offer an additional tester connec-tion using the V-series tester made by TesedaCorporation, Portland, Oregon, USA(www.teseda.com).

22 Phemos

Author: Hubert Ortner Hamamatsu Photonics Germany

Very compactEasy to integrate into existing Phemos 1000 systemsFlexible

Features:

Defect localisation under dynamic IC operation Suitable for emission analysisSDL and other functional analysis tech-niques Design debug analysis

Applications:

This DFT-FocusedTM tester series has a verysmall footprint, is easy to use but very versa-tile and flexible. The V-series tester can be integrated into astandard Phemos 1000 system. It is also pos-sible to combine the tester with standardprober solutions within the Phemos system.The model V520 allows you to connect up to348 pins at a test rate of up to 50 MHz.

Hamamatsu has cooperated with Teseda tooffer a cost-effective and powerful tester solu-tion which meets the needs of testing in failureanalysis and design debug applications.

New ImagEM functions: gain protection and control

The C9100-13 ImagEM Enhanced Camera isa back-thinned, electron-multiplier (EM) CCDcamera that’s ideal for a wide range of appli-cations from real time imaging of low lightfluorescence to ultra-low light detection. TheC9100-13 has built-in EM gain protection andreadjustment features designed to prolong thelife of the camera. In addition, direct EM gaincontrol is now possible.

To maintain performance and help reduce gaindeterioration (or gain aging) from excessivelight conditions, the C9100-13 has built-in EMgain protection that may be turned on or offby the user. The EM gain protection has twolevels: a warning mode and a protection mode.The first level shows a software warning mes-sage or creates an audible alarm when toomuch light is detected. The second level stopsthe charge transfer through the gain register.

Applications:

System configuration

SpecificationsIf EM gain deterioration occurs, the EM gainreadjustment feature readjusts the gain to theoriginal values. This can be done through asoftware command without removing the cam-era from the laboratory setup. (This feature isavailable when the camera is operated withDCAM-API, a software driver which supportsHamamatsu digital cameras.)

Direct EM gain control is now available with theC9100-13 ImagEM Enhanced Camera. Thegain control allows the direct setting of the EMgain in the gain register using a linear scale.For example, setting the software control to100 means the gain register will provide 100xmultiplication. (This feature is available whenthe camera is operated with DCAM-API, asoftware driver which supports Hamamatsudigital cameras.)
