چکیده
Abstract: We developed a low parasitic light sensitivity (PLS) and low dark current 2.8 μm global shutter pixel. We propose a new inner lens design concept to realize both low PLS and high quantum efficiency (QE). 1/PLS is 7700 and QE is 62% at a wavelength of 530 nm. We also propose a new storage-gate based memory node for low dark current. P-type implants and negative gate biasing are introduced to suppress dark current at the surface of the memory node. This memory node structure shows the world smallest dark current of 9.5 e-/s at 60 °C.

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...

In this study, a 40 × 48 pixel global shutter complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor with an adjustable shutter time as low as 75 ps was implemented using a 0.5-μm mixed-signal CMOS process. The implementation consisted of a continuous contact ring around each p+/n-well photodiode in the pixel array in order to apply sufficient light shielding. The parasitic light sensitivi...
متن کاملDevelopment of Gentle Slope Light Guide Structure in a 3.4 μm Pixel Pitch Global Shutter CMOS Image Sensor with Multiple Accumulation Shutter Technology †
CMOS image sensors (CISs) with global shutter (GS) function are strongly required in order to avoid image degradation. However, CISs with GS function have generally been inferior to the rolling shutter (RS) CIS in performance, because they have more components. This problem is remarkable in small pixel pitch. The newly developed 3.4 µm pitch GS CIS solves this problem by using multiple accumula...
متن کاملDark Current Characterization of CMOS Global Shutter Pixels Using Pinned Storage Diodes
This paper describes dark current characterization of two-stage charge transfer pixels, which enable a global shuttering and kTC noise canceling. The proposed pixel uses pinned diode structures for the photodiode(PD) as well as the storage diode(SD), thereby a very low dark current can be expected. The measured dark current of the PD and SD with the negative gate bias results in 19.5 e-/s and 7...
