CMOS IMAGE SENSOR WITH PERFORMANCE IMPROVED BY INTEGRATING PIXELS WITH BURST RESET OPERATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substantial pixel design that can be used in a small pixel and a high-performance CMOS image sensor array.

SOLUTION: A reset transistor of the invention comprises: a floating diffusion region for detecting charges; a bonding region for discharging charges; a gate for controlling the charge transfer from the floating diffusion region to the bonding region in response to control of a reset signal; and a potential well integrated at a bottom part of the gate.
