Abstract

See full text

An increased sense node capacitance, mainly for 3D time-of-flight (TOF) applications, includes a storage structure that combines the advantages of gate and diffusion capacitance in order to improve the overall capacitance. The storage structure provides higher capacitance per unit area and accordingly a better fill-factor/sensitivity of the pixel; improved noise behaviour because of the use of gate capacitances, better protection against interacting signals and thus better signal quality.
