International Journal of Bio-Science and Bio-Technology Vol.6, No.5 (2014), pp.203-214 /10.14257/ijbsbt.201 Design of 128x8 Pixel Array Fingerprint Sensor with a Capacitive- Sensing Circuit Technique for Image Enhancement Seung Min Jung School of Information and Telecommunication , Hanshin University, Osan, Korea jasmin @hs.ac.kr Abstract This paper proposes 128x8 array swipe type fingerprint sensor with a capacitive -sensing technique for image enhancement. The circuit of one pixel includes a pixel level charge- sharing and charge pump to replace an ADC . The circuit also adopts the circuit technique that improves quality of dry finger image captured with cap acitive fingerprint sensor LSIs. The proper operation is validated by HSPICE for one -pixel and RTL simulation including logic synthesis for a full chip design on condition of 0.35µm typical CMOS process and 3.3V power. The layout is performed by full custom flow for one -pixel and auto PR for afull chip. The area of a full chip is 0.161mm2 (9013μm x 1781μm) and the gate count is 303,329. The 2 area of one-pixel is 58 x 58 µm . Pitch is 60 µm and image resolution is 423dpi. Keywords: Dry finger, Fingerprint, Sensor, Charge pump, ADC, HDL 1. Introduction CMOS processes have been used to produce fingerprint sensor prototypes. Most of them rely on capacitive coupling between the finger and matrix of small metal plates to detect ridges and valleys on the finger surface. Each plate forms a pixel o
