Pixel sensor with reduced image lag

ActiveUS20090250733A1Lower a potential barrierLower potential barrierSolid-state devicesSemiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingCMOSLag
A tensile-stress-generating structure is formed above a gate electrode in a CMOS image sensor to apply a normal tensile stress between a charge collection well of a photodiode, which is also a source region of a transfer transistor, and a floating drain in the direction connecting the source region and the floating drain. The tensile stress lowers the potential barrier between the source region and the body of the transfer transistor to effect a faster and more through transfer of the electrical charges in the source region to the floating drain. Image lag is thus reduced in the CMOS image sensor. Further, charge capacity of the source region is also enhanced due to the normal tensile stress applied to the source region.

Photo Sensor With Pinned Photodiode and Sub-Linear Response

A photo sensor exhibiting low noise, low smear, low dark current and high dynamic range consists of a pinned (or buried) photodiode (PPD) with associated transfer gate (TG), a reset circuit (3) and a device (SL) with sub-linear voltage-to-current characteristic. The exposure cycle is started by reverse biasing the buried photodiode to its pinning potential and by setting the transfer gate (TG) to a non-zero skimming potential. Photo-generated charge carriers start to fill the buried photodiode; if illumination intensity is high, excessive photocharges are flowing over the transfer gate (TG) to the sensing node. Because of the sub-linear device (SL) connected to the sensing node, the voltage at the sensing node is a sub-linear function of the illumination intensity, and hence the dynamic range of the pixel is increased. The voltage at the sensing node (Se) is read four times, namely before exposure, with the spilled-over photocharge, after reset, and after the photocharge in the buried photodiode has been transferred to the sensing node. This allows correlated multiple sampling techniques to be employed for eliminating reset noise. Because of its compact size, the photo sensor can be employed in one- and two-dimensional image sensors fabricated with industry-standard CMOS or CCD technologies.
