This invention discloses a method for implementing an image sensor with a switchable lateral overflow integrating capacitor (LOFIC) voltage within a pixel unit. The pixel unit comprises at least one photodiode, a transfer transistor, a floating diffusion region, a reset transistor, a LOFIC, and a voltage switching unit. The photodiode is connected to the floating diffusion region via the transfer transistor. The first electrode of the LOFIC is coupled to the voltage switching unit, which is adapted to switch the first electrode of the LOFIC to different voltages. The voltage of the first electrode of the LOFIC is adjusted by timing control of the voltage switching unit to reduce the dark current of the image sensor and improve image delay.
