Abstract:
An image sensor cell formed inside and on top of a substrate of a first conductivity type, including: a read region of the second conductivity type; and, adjacent to the read region, a storage region of the first conductivity type topped with a first insulated gate electrode. The first electrode is arranged to receive, in a first operating mode, a first voltage causing the inversion of the conductivity type of the storage region, so that the storage region behaves as an extension of the read region, and, in a second operating mode, a second voltage causing no inversion of the storage region.
