    Abstract: Provided are an image sensor and a method of sensing the same. The image sensor includes: a light receiving device; a signal conversion unit including a transfer transistor having a plurality of transfer gates and for converting photocharges generated by the light receiving device into a voltage to output the voltage; and a sensing control unit for generating at least two reset signals and/or at least two transfer signals applied to the transfer gates of the transfer transistor during a one-time photosensing cycle. The image sensor is obtained by changing the structure and driving method of a transfer transistor of a typical 4-transistor CMOS image sensor and employs a deep depletion operation and a multiple reset operation, thereby reducing an image lag and increasing the well capacity of the light receiving device.

    Abstract: Provided are a low-voltage image sensor and a method of driving a transfer transistor thereof, which are obtained by changing the structure and driving method of a typical transfer transistor of a 4-transistor CMOS transistor, and can eliminate the influence of a voltage or physical structure of a diffusion node on a reset or transfer operation of a photodiode. The image sensor includes a light receiving device for detecting light and a signal conversion unit for reading photocharge generated by the light receiving device to an external circuit. The signal conversion unit includes a transfer transistor including at least two gate electrodes. When the photocharge is transferred to a channel of a transfer gate electrode disposed closest to a photodiode, a transfer gate electrode disposed adjacent to a diffusion node remains turned off.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is manufactured by forming trenches in a substrate and selectively performing Plasma Ion Immersion Implantation and Deposition (PIIID) on a subset of the trenches in the substrate. The PIIID may be performed on only a portion of a surface of at least one of the trenches in the substrate. Semiconductor devices can include a semiconductor substrate having first, second and third trenches therein, and an oxide liner layer that fully lines the first trenches, that does not line the second trenches and that partially lines the third trenches.

    Abstract: An image sensor operated in a pseudo pinch-off condition capable of reducing a reset voltage of a photodiode and reducing a dark current and fixed pattern noise generated due to discordance of characteristics between pixels is presented. The image sensor has a photosensitive pixel, a driving circuit and an intermediary circuit. The photosensitive pixel can have a photodiode generating a photoelectrons, a transfer transistor transferring the photoelectrons to a diffusion node, and a reset transistor resetting the diffusion node. The driving circuit generates a driving switching signal with respect to the transfer and resist transistors. The intermediary circuit changes characteristics of the signal to drive the photosensitive pixel in a pseudo pinch-off mode.

    Abstract: Provided is a 4-transistor CMOS image in which a driving condition or a pixel structure is changed so that a transfer transistor in a pixel operates in a pinch-off condition during reset and transfer operations in order to reduce dark current and fixed-pattern noise caused by a change in an operation condition of the transfer transistor and inter-pixel characteristic discrepancy. The image sensor includes a photosensitive pixel including a transfer transistor for transferring photon-induced charges created in a photodiode; and a voltage control unit for controlling a turn-on voltage applied to a gate of the transfer transistor to be lower than a floating diffusion node voltage plus the threshold voltage of the transfer transistor during a partial or entire section of a turn-on section of the transfer transistor such that the transfer transistor operates in a pseudo pinch-off mode.
