Radiation effects on active pixel sensors

An active pixel sensor (APS) is defined as a CMOS detector array that has at least one active transistor integrated into the pixel. Two kinds of detector arrays were used: one photodiode and one photogate. Their tolerance against total dose and proton irradiations are evaluated.
