摘要:
An active pixel using a pinned photodiode with a pinning layer formed from indium is disclosed. The pixel comprises a photodiode formed in a semiconductor substrate. The photodiode is an N− region formed within a P-type region. A pinning layer formed from indium is then formed at the surface of the N− region. Further, the pixel includes a transfer transistor formed between the photodiode and a floating node and selectively operative to transfer a signal from the photodiode to the floating node. Finally, the pixel includes an amplification transistor controlled by the floating node.
