Abstract:
A photosensitive device includes a peripheral circuit semiconductor region, a photosensitive circuit semiconductor region including at least one group of at least two photosensitive elements configured to generate a photoelectric signal on a node called critical node. The device further includes an integrator circuit per group of photosensitive elements, each including: a differential circuit for each photosensitive element of the group, in the photosensitive circuit semiconductor region, an amplification circuit, in the peripheral circuit semiconductor region, and a feedback circuit for each photosensitive element of the group, comprising a capacitive element located in the photosensitive circuit semiconductor region coupled between the output node of the amplification circuit and the respective critical node.
