Track 13: Radiation Sensors, Readout Circuits and Radiation Harden by Design

Radiation exists in both natural environment and man-engineered applications, including cosmic rays, soils, solar radiation and nuclear power plants. Particles or rays can interact with material, such as high-purity germanium, silicon, cadmium zinc telluride, scintillators and so on, and generate electron-hole pairs or light, resulting in particles detection. Radiation sensors are widely used in high-energy physics experiments, astronomical exploration，nuclear security screening and medical imaging. Radiation sensing has garnered increasing attention, driven by advancements in fundamental scientific theories and practical engineering requirements.. Moreover, the high-energy particles may destroy the silicon grid, inducing circuit performance degradation, malfunction or destruction. Thus, radiation hardened by design is essential for the chips used in high-energy physics experiment, space environments. This track will focus on the radiation sensor, readout circuit, AI used for signal processing, radiation hardened by design and so on.

辐射存在于自然环境和人工应用中，包括宇宙射线、土壤、太阳辐射和核电站等。粒子或射线可以与材料相互作用，如高纯锗、硅、碲锌镉、闪烁体等，并产生电子-空穴对或光，从而实现粒子检测。辐射传感器广泛应用于高能物理实验、天文探索、核安全筛查和医学成像等领域。随着基础科学理论和实际工程需求的进步，辐射传感技术受到越来越多的关注。此外，高能粒子可能破坏硅晶格，导致电路性能下降、故障或损坏。因此，辐射加固设计对于用于高能物理实验和太空环境的芯片至关重要。本专题将聚焦于辐射传感器、读出电路、用于信号处理的人工智能、辐射加固设计等方面。
