A new pixel structure is proposed for wide dynamic range CMOS image sensors. A pixel
based on a three-transistor active pixel sensor has two linear responses and a logarithmic …

In this work, a novel one-transistor active pixel sensor (1T-APS) with adjustable self-adaptive
sensitivity enabled by floating source/drain (S/D) is demonstrated on 22-nm fully depleted Si …

This article presents a black-sun readout scheme for CMOS image sensors (CISs) that
utilizes the black-sun effect caused by a strong illumination condition. Based on the analysis …

This letter presents a wide dynamic range (WDR) feature extraction (FE) readout scheme for
machine vision applications using CMOS image sensors (CISs). The proposed scheme with …

This paper proposes a novel fixed pattern noise (FPN) calibration technique for a linear-
logarithmic active pixel sensor (APS) based on the conventional four-transistor pixel …

Technology computer aided design (TCAD) simulations are conducted on a 4T PPD pixel,
on a conventional gated photodiode (PD), and finally on a radiation hardened pixel …

We present a 640× 480 CMOS image sensor (CIS) with in-circuit bi-directional gamma
correction with a proposed digital-correlated double sampling (CDS) structure. To operate …

When light of a short wavelength, typically blue light, is incident on the polysilicon gate of an
image sensor, it tends to be absorbed significantly. This has hindered the extensive …

BACKGROUND A CMOS imager circuit includes a focal plane array of pixels, each of the
pixels including a photosensor, for example, a photogate, photoconductor or a photodiode …
