    摘要: Provided are a finger type photodiode and a method of manufacturing the same, which can reduce noise by forming a shallow doping layer. The finger type photodiode includes a bottom substrate supporting layers to be formed thereon, an epitaxial layer formed on the bottom substrate, a finger doping layer formed in a finger shape on a top surface of the epitaxial layer, and a shallow doping layer formed with a shallow depth on an externally exposed top surface of the epitaxial layer and a top surface of the finger doping layer. Since the dangling bond generated on the epitaxial layer and the finger doping layer is reduced, noise can be reduced, thereby improving the light efficiency and reliability of the photodiode.

    摘要: A CMOS image sensor has a function to compensate a photodetector pixel from a dark current by using a dark pixel. In the CMOS image sensor, the photodetector pixel includes a first reset transistor with a drain connected to a supply voltage and a photodetector diode connected between a source of the first reset transistor and a ground. The dark pixel includes a mirror transistor with a drain connected to the supply voltage and a gate and source connected to a gate of the first reset transistor and a dark photodiode shielded from external light. The dark photodiode is connected between the source of the mirror diode and the ground. The dark pixel provides a current having a magnitude equal with that of a dark current flowing through the dark photodiode to the photodetector diode. This delays the saturation rate of the CMOS image sensor pixel and enhances the dynamic range thereof.

    摘要: The invention provides a unit pixel of a CMOS image sensor which compensates for a dark current generated in a photo diode to enhance its driving range. In the unit pixel, a photo diode generates a charge in accordance with a received light amount. A drive has a gate for receiving the charge in the photo diode to output as an electrical signal and a drain to which a power voltage is applied. Also, a saturation detector receives a gate voltage of the drive transistor and judges the drive transistor saturated if an output voltage is smaller than a preset reference voltage. In addition, a switch connects or disconnects between the power voltage and the gate of the drive transistor in response to the judgment of the saturation detector.
