Abstract
This thesis describes the design of a microelectronic system that can be used
to build a spectroscopic imaging system, in particular a spectroscopic quantum
imaging using pixel-level ADCs in semiconductor-based hybrid pixel detectors.
In such a system the signal generated in the sensor by a photon interaction is
electronically processed to obtain a measurement of the energy deposited by
the photon. This measurement is expressed as a digital value and read from
the pixel by the appropriate circuitry located in the periphery of the chip. The
digital data corresponding to the measurement (energy of the photon and pixel
address in the imaging array) is then read from the chip by an external data
acquisition system for further processing or visual presentation.
