Abstract:
A method of operating an image sensor includes: thermoelectrically cooling a pixel using a thermoelectric element having a thermoelectric-junction integrated to the pixel; and performing a photoelectric conversion operation using the thermoelectric element. An image sensor includes a pixel and a readout circuit. The pixel includes a thermoelectric element having a thermoelectric-junction, and the readout circuit is configured to control the pixel such that the thermoelectric element performs a thermoelectric-cooling operation and a photoelectric conversion operation.
