Abstract
A CMOS-based sensor apparatus comprises an array of sensor cells that are interconnected by a first set of vertical driver lines to a selective driver facility and by a second set of horizontal sensing lines to a sensing facility for sensing respectively sensed amounts of radiation. In particular, the sensor cells through being appropriately spaced in at least either row or column direction, comprise a redundancy facility that is selectively activatable for isolating an interconnect short on the basis of externally applied control actuation.
