title = "Noise reduction by pixel circuit optimization in 4-T pixel structure detectors using integrated circuit technologies",
abstract = "The most commonly used pixel structure in integrated circuit technologies is the three-transistor pixel structure (3-T). This structure consists of a pixel, a reset transistor, a source follower and a pixel select transistor. An extension to this is the 4-T pixel structure where an extra transistor is included to enable current steering in the readout phase and reset phase. This greatly reduces current consumption compared to the conventional 3-T pixel structure. Simulation results depicting this optimization is provided to support the technical contribution of this paper.",
