In this paper we present results concerning the performance exhibited by an integrated array of 32 one-dimensional amorphous silicon thin film position sensitive detectors based on nip and hetero amorphous silicon structures, with a total active area size below 1 cm2 linearity, its spatial resolution and response time, that make it one of the most interesting analog detector to be used in unmanned optical inspection control systems where a continuous detection process is required. This opens a wide range of applications for amorphous silicon devices in the area of image processing. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
