An imaging device having an integrated circuit die with an array that includes a plurality of pixels for collecting image data is described, having a single pixel. An electrical signal is produced in a photo-sensitive layer (106) in response to stimulus from photons. A portion of the produced electrical signal is received at a signal contact (102). A voltage is applied to a gate (110) of a controllable transistor located in the single pixel. The applied voltage forms a conductive channel in a non- conductive layer (114) that is distinct and different from the photo-sensitive layer, the non-conductive layer otherwise electrically isolating the drain (108) from the photo-sensitive layer with respect to the produced electrical signal. The photo-sensitive layer is used as a source of the controllable transistor. The channel is conductive with respect to the produced electrical signal. |
