Dark Current Equation

$$D = 2.5 \times 10^{15} P_s N_{DC} T^{1.5} e^{-E_g/(2 k T)}$$ (1)

Where:

D =

Signal, e/sec/pixel

P_s =

pixel size (cm²)

N_DC =

Dark current figure of merit (nA/cm²)

T =

Operating Temperature (K)

k =

Boltzman's Constant ( $8.62 \times 10^{-5}$)

E_g =

Silicon band-gap energy (eV) where:

$$E_g = 1.11557 - \frac{7.021 \times 10^{-4} T^2}{1108 + T}$$ (2)
