title = "Small-pixel x-ray hybrid CMOS detectors: A candidate for the high-definition x-ray imager on Lynx",
abstract = "The High Definition X-ray Imager (HDXI) is one of three planned instruments for the next generation Lynx mission concept and would provide fine spatial resolution X-ray imaging and moderate spectral resolution over a wide field-of-view. The instrument is baselined to rapidly read out large silicon focal plane arrays consisting of small pixels. We present the most recent results from small-pixel X-ray hybrid CMOS detectors that are designed to meet these needs. These devices implement crosstalk-eliminating capacitive transimpedance amplifiers as well the ability to perform in-pixel correlated double sampling, and have achieved noise and spectral resolution approaching the notional requirements of Lynx-HDXI. Read noise as low as 5.4 e-(RMS) has been measured, along with energy resolution (FWHM) as good as 158 eV at 5.9 keV, 78 eV at 0.52 keV, and 71 eV at 0.28 keV.",
