A 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 کامل4T-Decay Sensors
We present a novel temperature/leakage sensor, developed for high-speed, low-power, monitoring of processors and complex VLSI chips. The innovative idea is the use of 4T SRAM cells to measure on-chip temperature and leakage.Using the dependence of leakage currents to temperature, we measure varying decay (discharge) times of the 4T cell at different temperatures. Thus, decaying 4T sensors provi...
متن کاملImage Lag Analysis and Photodiode Shape Optimization of 4T CMOS Pixels
A good charge transfer efficiency is very important for high-speed application CMOS image sensors. This paper presents a method to optimize the pinned-photodiode (PPD) shape, which is implemented in the 4T CMOS pixel for reducing the image lag of large area photodiode pixels. The new design allows combining a better light sensitivity with a good charge transfer. A CMOS image sensor test chip is...
متن کاملThin-Film Quantum Dot Photodiode for Monolithic Infrared Image Sensors †
Imaging in the infrared wavelength range has been fundamental in scientific, military and surveillance applications. Currently, it is a crucial enabler of new industries such as autonomous mobility (for obstacle detection), augmented reality (for eye tracking) and biometrics. Ubiquitous deployment of infrared cameras (on a scale similar to visible cameras) is however prevented by high manufactu...
متن کاملFully Depleted, Monolithic Pinned Photodiode CMOS Image Sensor Using Reverse Substrate Bias
A new pixel design using pinned photodiode (PPD) in a 180 nm CMOS image sensor (CIS) process has been developed as a proof of principle. The sensor can be fully depleted by means of reverse bias applied to the substrate, and the principle of operation is applicable to very thick sensitive volumes. Additional n-type implants under the in-pixel p-wells have been added to the manufacturing process...
