Abstract

See full text

Techniques and mechanisms for improving full well capacity for pixel structures in an image sensor. In an embodiment, a first pixel structure of the image sensor includes an implant region, where a skew of the implant region corresponds to an implant angle, and a second pixel structure of the image sensor includes a transfer gate. In another embodiment, an offset of the implant region of the first pixel structure from the transfer gate of the second pixel structure corresponds to the implant angle.
