Technology Overview

The document details a cutting-edge solid-state charge detector that utilizes complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, integrating a Faraday cup with a high-gain, low-noise differential amplifier. This approach allows for the detection of charged particles under a wide range of pressures, operating at a significantly reduced supply voltage, which is ideal for portable mass spectrometry applications.


Key Advantages

  • Operates over a wide pressure range, suitable for various environments
  • Low supply voltage requirement (1
  • 8 V) enhances portability and energy efficiency
  • High gain and low noise performance due to advanced CMOS technology

Problems Addressed

  • Eliminates the need for high vacuum and high supply voltages required by traditional electron multiplier-based detectors
  • Overcomes limitations of conventional systems with a simplified, high-performance design
  • Addresses the challenge of detecting low-level charges in portable applications
