Backside Illuminated Global Shutter Cmos Image Sensors
We report on 2and 4 megapixel backside illuminated image sensors with a 5.5 μm global shutter pixel manufactured in 0.18 μm CMOS. Global shutter pixels require an in-pixel storage node next to the photodiode. This storage node should not be light sensitive. This is specified by parasitic light sensitivity, which is the ratio of the amount of light detected by the storage node divided by the amo...
متن کاملA new active pixel structure with a pinned photodiode for wide dynamic range image sensors
A wide dynamic range CMOS image sensor based on a new active pixel structure with a pinned photodiode is proposed and evaluated with device simulations. The proposed pixel device has a linear and a logarithmic characteristics in low and high illumination region, respectively. The technique of direct detection of photodiode potential leads to a wide logarithmic response compared with the convent...
متن کاملAnalog Encoding Voltage—A Key to Ultra-Wide Dynamic Range and Low Power CMOS Image Sensor
Usually Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) sensors that autonomously adjust their integration time to fit intra-scene illumination levels use a separate digital memory unit. This memory contains the data needed for the dynamic range. Motivated by the demands for low power and chip area reduction, we propose a different implementation of the aforementioned WDR algorithm by replacing the external digital m...

This paper presents a prototype CMOS image sensor with a fast global shutter based on the Vertical Overflow Drain (VOD) shutter mechanism. The imager presents several novel features: First, the adaptation of the VOD shutter mechanism previously used exclusively in CCDs into a 0.18-μm CMOS image sensor process. Second, the application of the VOD shutter for purposes of fast gating with several n...

We are presenting a novel concept for a fully depleted, monolithic, pinned photodiode CMOS image sensor using reverse substrate bias. The principle of operation allows the manufacture of backside illuminated CMOS sensors with active thickness in excess of 100 μm. This helps increase the QE at near-IR and soft X-ray wavelengths, while preserving the excellent characteristics associated with the ...
