DESCRIPTION:Albert J.P. Theuwissen\, Harvest Imaging\, Bree\, Belgium\nAbs
 tract\nIs the perfect CMOS image sensor available today ?  Looking at the
  performance of today’s CMOS image sensors (quantum efficiency over 80 %
 \, dynamic range over 80 dB\, temporal noise below 1 electron\, fixed-patt
 ern noise below visibility\, parasitic light sensitivity below -100 dB\, e
 tc.) one may conclude that perfection is being reached.  Does that mean t
 hat few new developments can be expected ?  Or\, is the perfect image sen
 sor much further away than we think ? \n\nIn this presentation certain pe
 rformance parameters will be analysed in more detail and suggestions will 
 be made for further improvement.  The good news: there are still great an
 d many challenges ahead for imaging engineers!\n\nBio\nAlbert J.P. Theuwis
 sen received the degree in electrical engineering from the Catholic Univer
 sity of Leuven (Belgium) in 1977\, and obtained the Ph.D. degree (cum laud
 e) in electrical engineering in 1983.  In 1983\, he joined Philips Resear
 ch Laboratories in Eindhoven (the Netherlands)\, as a member of the scient
 ific staff.  In 1991 he became Department Head of the division Imaging De
 vices.  In April 2002\, he joined DALSA Corp. to act as the company’s C
 hief Technology Officer. In September 2004 he retired as CTO and became Ch
 ief Scientist of DALSA Semiconductors. After he left DALSA in September 20
 07\, he started his own company “Harvest Imaging”\, focusing on traini
 ng coaching in the field of solid-state imaging technology (www.harvestima
 ging.com).\n\nHe is author or coauthor of over 280 technical papers in the
  solid state imaging field and issued several patents. He is co-editor of 
 IEEE Micro special issue on Digital Imaging\, Nov./Dec. 1998 and of the IE
 EE Transactions on Electron Devices special issues on Solid State Image Se
 nsors\, May 1991\, October 1997\, January 2003\, November 2009\, and he ac
 ted as chief guest-editor of the special issue on Solid-State Image Sensor
 s January 2016. In 1995\, he authored a textbook "Solid State Imaging with
  Charge Coupled Devices" and in 2011 he co-edited the book "Single-Photon 
 Imaging".  In 1998\, 2007 and 2015 he became an IEEE ED and SSCS distingu
 ished lecturer.\n\nHe acted as general chairman of the International Image
  Sensor Workshop (formerly IEEE International Workshop on Charge-Coupled D
 evices and Advanced Image Sensors) in 1997\, 2003\, 2009 and 2015. He is m
 ember of the Steering Committee of the aforementioned workshop and founder
  of the Walter Kosonocky Award\, which highlights the best paper in the fi
 eld of solid-state image sensors.  From 1999 till 2010 he was a member of
  the technical committee of the International Solid-State Circuits Confere
 nce. For the same conference he acted as secretary\, vice-chair and chair 
 in the European ISSCC Regional Committee and since 2002 he was a member of
  the overall ISSCC Executive Committee. He has been elected to be Internat
 ional Technical Program Chair vice-chair and chair for respectively the IS
 SCC 2009 and ISSCC 2010.\n\nFrom March 2001 till September 2023\, he was a
 ppointed as part-time professor at the Delft University of Technology\, th
 e Netherlands. At this University he taught courses in solid-state imaging
 \; coached MSc and PhD students in their research on CMOS image sensors.\n
 \nIn 2006 he co-founded (together with his peers Eric Fossum and Nobukazu 
 Teranishi) ImageSensors\, Inc. (a Californian non-profit public benefit co
 mpany) to address the needs of the image sensor community (www.imagesensor
 s.org). In 2017 he was appointed as the president of the International Ima
 ge Sensor Society (IISS).\n\nIn 2008\, he received the SMPTE’s Fuji Gold
  medal for his contributions to the research\, development and education o
 f others in the field of solid-state image capturing. In 2011 he was elect
 ed as “Electronic Imaging Scientist of the Year”\, in 2013 he received
  the Exceptional Service Award of the International Image Sensor Society\,
  in 2014 he was awarded with the SEMI Award. Albert is an IEEE Life Fellow
