The digital imaging industry originated from the concept of Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs), first proposed in 1969. During the early 1990s, significant efforts were devoted to leveraging the maturity, reliability, and low manufacturing cost of CMOS technologies developed for large-scale integrated circuit production. The primary objective was to enable highly functional image sensors and ultimately realize the “camera-on-a-chip” paradigm by integrating imaging and processing capabilities within a single device. Around 2010, a paradigm shift occurred as the limitations of standard CMOS processes—optimized for high-performance digital logic but offering only modest photodetection capabilities—became increasingly evident. In response, imaging enhanced CMOS technologies appeared, capable of achieving superior photodetector performance while maintaining adequate on-chip signal processing functionality. Today, the field is advancing toward multispectral imaging systems, near-single-photon detection efficiencies, and picosecond-level temporal resolutions. This presentation reviews the fundamental principles of radiation detection and digital image formation, discusses the technological evolution of imaging sensors, and examines current challenges and future perspectives in the development of next-generation imaging technologies.

Biography:

Daniel Durini is currently a Senior Researcher (Grade B) in the Electronics Division of the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics, and Electronics (INAOE) in Puebla, Mexico. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering at UNAM in 2002, a master’s degree in Microelectronics from the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics, and Electronics (INAOE) in 2003, and a Ph.D. in Microelectronics from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Duisburg, Germany, in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems (IMS) in 2009. He worked at the Fraunhofer IMS for nine years, from 2004 to 2013, and for the last four years led the group dedicated to the development of optoelectronic devices within the Department of Optical Sensor Systems. Between 2014 and 2018, he worked at the Central Institute for Electronic Systems (ZEA-2) at the Forschungszentrum Jülich research center in Jülich, Germany, where he headed the Detector Systems Development area for scientific applications starting in 2015. Prior to his current position, he served as Director of Research and Technological Development at INAOE from September 2019 to January 2024. He is the author of more than 90 international scientific publications, three book chapters, a book now in its second edition, as well as six international patents and one national patent. He has been a member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers since 2014, as well as of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) since 2009, holding the rank of Senior Member since 2019. His scientific work has been honored with three international awards.
